    Dr Okusanya, you are the spitting image of your father, who coincidentally was my Project supervisor at the university.
    It is a very interesting interview. The eloquence, diction, and mastery are top-notch. You are an extremely meticulous, brilliant, hardworking, and humble guy. Amazingly compassionate about your profession. Your ability to draw a healthy balance between your job and family is admirable.
    Kudos and I use this opportunity to salute Doctors for their sacrifice. May God bless you all

    18 years completely focused in one path takes true dedication and knowing exactly what your after, you set your waypoints and try not to deviate. However, starting at 18 years and done at 36 is actually young age with huge accomplishments, most people at 36 can’t even land a good job or have little to no skills.

    As a pre-medical student, I found this video incredibly inspiring. Dr. Okusanya's passion for learning, medicine, and dedication to self-actualization is both captivating and motivating. His commitment to excellence and personal growth serves as a powerful example for all aspiring medical professionals. One key takeaway for me is that while intelligence and knowledge are essential for all doctors, it is the passion, grit, and ability to connect with others that distinguish a good doctor from an exceptional one who truly changes lives. Thank you both for this wonderful content!

    Every single interview is an actual masterpiece! I watched every video, a few repeats, and this is my 3rd time watching Dr.Okusanya interview.
    This man is absolutely at peace, ready to take the next challenge head first! What an amazing group of doctors we have at Jefferson!
    Im applying this cycle, and Jefferson is top in my list. 🤞 even if I don’t get in for medical school, residency in Philadelphia with these doctors would be an absolute dream. Im working in neurointerventional right now, but im more and more interested in my interventional cardiology colleges, and now to the field of both cardiac and thoracic surgery! Hopefully in a year I’ll look back at this post, with an acceptance 🙏

I am not brilliant but my life's motive has always been to be a very good doctor and it makes me feel good that all the great doctors on your podcast all share this trait. Keep up the amazing work man.
