I was thinking about becoming an anesthesiologist, or some other medical career.
I want to know what kind of medical jobs there are that travel to other countries and help there. I also would like to know the salary, because I want to be a well payed humanitarian. Maybe some government funded jobs, or something?
I don’t want to move to another country, but I would like to help and work for a while. Is there a medical job like that?

my friends mom is a registered nurse and she joined the rescue team at her hospital she works at and she goes all over the place being a nurse !! also, where she works requires they work 15 days of the month.. so she can work 15 in a row.. and have 15 off… or however she wants it !!
she gets paid a lot too cause shes been doing it for a while somewhere in 80k range

i would suggest do a fellowship and get board certified in infectious diseases after med school, get an MPH and PhD, run clinical trials, and be in the board of an NGO. Infectious disease subspecialty because it’ll be very useful in the tropics, MPH because you need management skills to run your clinic, PhD because you get government grants that way and you will get grants if you publish and you publish more if you have credibility, Run clinical trials because pharm ppl will sponsor you and get access to drugs plus clinical trials pay a lot, and NGO board member because they’ll provide you with a network of staff to wherever you want to set up shop.
question is, are you capable? anesthesiologists dont go to the bushes sweety and be realistic
MD, MPH, and PhD with ongoing clinical trials and grants could fetch you $500,000 plus company shares which fluctuate in value. It could be more if you werent running around the bushes, but you give some up.
