Dr. Nii-Daako Darko received both his D.O. and M.B.A. from the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. He then completed his General Surgery residency training at the historic Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia through the Morehouse School of Medicine. Looking for versatility in surgery, he completed a trauma/critical care fellowship at the University of Miami / Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, Florida.
His current passions include personal finance, global health, connecting people with one another, and podcasting. Dr Darko is the host of Docs Outside the Box - a podcast where he interviews physicians who are thriving in nontraditional paths in medicine. He is also the founder of his own locum tenens company called Equal Access Health.
In Dr. Darko's own words:
"I realize that physicians can make great contributions to society not just within hospital walls. It's no surprise that a large number of physicians are frustrated not only with the current state of healthcare delivery - but also with their standing within that system. Healthcare is changing right before our eyes; in order to stay relevant physicians will have to understand trends and topics not taught in textbooks. My podcast highlights physicians who are thriving in nontraditional paths in medicine. My aim is to be the go-to trusted voice helping to empower physicians by bringing inspirational interviews and stories from other ordinary doctors who are doing extraordinary things!"
