    Docs Outside The Box

    Hosts Dr. Nii (Ghanaian) and Dr. Renee (Haitian) are first-generation physicians who paid off $662,000 in student loans in 3 years – while figuring out contracts, career moves, and money management that their colleagues learned at home.

    Every episode covers what first-gen docs need to know:

    • Contract negotiation and career decisions
    • Paying off debt without family financial guidance
    • Building wealth from scratch
    • The questions you don’t know to ask (but your colleagues already knew)

    Real strategies from doctors who had to figure it out on their own.

    Having A Medical Degree Doesn't Make You A Leader. #465 Part 1 Jun 24, 2025
    Show notes

    SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!

    Leadership in medicine goes beyond clinical skills because medical education doesn’t automatically create leaders. In this segment, we discuss how toxic behaviors get perpetuated when negative leadership styles like throwing instruments in the OR to berating staff, are modeled for residents and medical students.

    We then share the non-negotiable days we refuse to work, revealing how our cultural backgrounds and family values inform our decisions.
