As a first-gen med student trying to choose a specialty, apply for away rotations, and think critically about what kind of career I want, Docs Outside the Box has been incredibly eye-opening.

I always walk away from each episode with new insights and a lot to think about. Highly recommend for anyone go... more
Miss you Dr. Darko!!! love your podcast by the way definitely gets me through my 3 1/2 hour drive as a travel nurse !! Lacy M Old STICU RN Upmc Altoona.
Shout out to Dr Nii & Dr Renee for their transparency and informative insight into working locums. You make my job as a locums consultant or as I call myself a “Physician Career Coach” so much easier! Why wouldn’t doctors want to work locums. You answer “All” the questions and then some. Doctors take a listen… they are real and shed light on the stigmas around locums and all the benefits.
Great content! Keep up the great work! I also listen to your YouTube - will be sure to subscribe there, too.
Episode 372 was on point! I was so intrigued by Doc G's early pull toward hospice care. As a career coach for healthcare professionals, I see that too often we ignore that inner voice that directs us towards our higher purpose. I also appreciated Doc G's perspective on setting aside financial fears for a moment and focusing on our purpose, connection, and identity. By doing so, we can build a strong financial structure based on our values. Thank you for such a deep and thoughtful talk!
