Customer Reviews
One of the best Trauma surgeons I ever worked with !!!
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.
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.
Great content!
