  • Must-Listen for Med Students

    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. Dr. Nii and Dr. Renee are amazing hosts who bring perspectives you don’t usually hear in med school—ones that challenge the way we think about medicine, career paths, and the healthcare landscape. I always walk away from each episode with new insights and a lot to think about. Highly recommend for anyone go... more

  • BEST Podcast for all doctors!

    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.

  • Thoughtful and inspiring conversations

    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!
