They also place importance on having prior experience in war zones/undeveloped areas/etc. -- they definitely prefer someone who's already been in that environment.
I was interested in MSF and found that Hope In Hell was a very enlightening and eye-opening book about the organisation. I still have immense respect for them, but I don't think it's for me.
OP, another route you could go is Americorps or the Peace Corps. I have friends who've done both and enjoyed their experiences.

Hope in Hell. It's sort of frontier medicine - an intro into MSF.
Also not medically related, but science/outdoorsy - Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzalez (http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Survival-Who-Lives-Dies/dp/0393326152) is really good nonfiction looking at why some people survive disasters and others don't. It's sort of pop sociology.
