S3, Ep. 6 – Part 1: Muhoroni Success – Dr. Dan Odhiambo’ – Fellowship Safaris

This safari is near and dear to my heart.  Dr. Dan Odhiambo was one of those guys who I quickly identified as an outlier in our undergraduate class for so many great reasons. What started out as a messenger catch up chat quickly accelerated into my requesting him to share his amazing medical education safari with us and here we are! Come join us as we take a peek into the life of neurosurgeon on his path to pursuing a collection of fellowships. Dan’s experiences are an eye opener into this intricate subspecialty, and he manages to do this while contextualising the human experience in medical education.  Resource Alert!!! https://humananatomy.uonbi.ac.ke/programs-content-type/bachelor-science-human-anatomy https://surgery.uonbi.ac.ke/programs/master-medicine-neurosurgery https://health.uct.ac.za/neurosurgery/education https://www.rcseng.ac.uk/education-and-exams/accreditation/rcs-senior-clinical-fellowship-scheme/national-surgical-fellowship-scheme-register/neurosurgery/ Honorable Mentions: Dr. Naomi Ochieng Dr. Andrew Odhiambo Visit the website: http://www.fellowshipsafaris.org Follow Fellowship Safaris on social media: Facebook, Instagram and TikTok: @fellowshipsafaris X (formerly Twitter): @fellowshipsafar YouTube: @FellowshipSafarisPodcast Credits: Executive Producer and original music: Mwakavi Maweu.
