Show Notes

This is a "book-ends" episode where we interview Dr. Renee Darko.  Remember a few months ago we interviewed her husband, "Dr. Nii" but there is no question that "Dr. Renee" deserves her own spotlight!

On this episode of the D.O. or Do Not Podcast, we meet Dr. Renee Darko who as she states wears “ a lot of different hats”. In this episode Dr. Darko tells her inspiring journey to become an OBGYN. She attended Pace University and Hunter College for her undergraduate training followed by the  Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine and Rockhurst University with a dual D.O/ MBA degree. She completed her OB/GYN residency at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and went on to the Morehouse School of Medicine where she did a fellowship in Health Policy Leadership. 

Dr. Darko is the mother of two children and works as a part time/ locum OBGYN.  She will tell us about how she accomplices these two herculean tasks.   She talks about the difficulty having a long distance relationship in residency.  She speaks about how to persevere when people tell you "you can't."  She talks about her podcast, her mentorship of minority students, her children's book and MUCH MUCH more!
