This incredible episode features Dr. Nii Darko, a Trauma Surgeon, entrepreneur and veteran podcaster. He is the host and creator of “Docs Outside The Box“, a podcast that tells stories of ordinary physicians doing extraordinary things. After 4 years, this podcast is quickly approaching 1 million downloads. We talk about the Three M’s he provides with his podcast: Money, Mindset and Mission.
Dr. Darko talks about his day-to-day life as a trauma surgeon practicing in a locums tenem model. He also sheds some light on the opportunity this type of practice offers. He seeks to empower physicians to avoid the daily grind and live fulfilled lives. Dr. Darko is a prime example of why representation matters. He was heavily influenced as a college student by a trauma surgeon who invited him to shadow at the hospital.
This was an extra-special episode for me, because Dr. Darko inspired me to start The Black Doctors Podcast. This episode is a homecoming, of sorts.
Do you know anyone interested in becoming a surgeon? Are you looking to step outside of your comfort zone and do more? Have you considered working locums tenems and being your own boss? This episode is for you.
