His physical features are remarkable ... very good looking guy. God bless him for having his heart in the right place and giving back to the community.
Super-inspirational! This shows that the path to glory is rough but it will be worth it in the end. Very encouraged-God bless you Dr. Boahene. From an aspiring physician also a Ghanaian.
The point is that he's not one in a billiion. He's a bright guy who made good decisions, worked hard and believed in himself. There are lots of kids who could do the same, but are given up on and so give up on themselves.
as a fellow Ghanaian who is currently a rising senior in high school, this inspires me so much. He went through all of that and more, yet he was still top of his class and made it in life. I too want to become a Surgeon. If he can do it, then I can too
that's probably the most inspirational story I've ever heard in my life. I will think about this doctor every day during my medical school and when I graduate. This guy just became my hero.
Kudos my brother. I've gotta say, graduating medical school as THE #1 is marvelous; a wondrous feat. Then getting into Johns Hopkins for a residency/fellowship...My God. He's got it going on.
Love this story. He can identify with struggle which makes a perfect fit for the medical profession. The medical system would be so much better served if diversity was a given. So many struggles to this day. We need people of all kinds to embrace and love each other. I found this video in my search for the right doctor for me. I like hearing from a doctor in their own words. Videos like this are so very important and helpful. God Bless you Dr. Boahene. Stay who you are and continue to strive and improve lives. Your story is what makes you special. 🙂
Inspiration and drive is all people need. Thank you very, very much Dr. Boahene for donating some of your time to inspire young medical students who wish one day to be somewhere near to where you are now.
This guy is a role model to any pre med/med student who think its not possible. Anythings possible if you just have the heart to never give up. I wish i had half the heart this guy does
Wow, this is really awesome. I look to have ethnic plastic surgery next year and you are certainly the person I want to perform my surgery. God Bless You.
He had an astonishing zeal to get his career! He is truly an ideal sample of the commitment one must possess in order to become a surgeon. I want to be an Orthopedic Spinal Cord Surgeon, and while I know my road wont be nearly as though as his, it will still prove to be quite a challenge to get there. This has boosted up my motivation a lot, and that is just what I was looking for. Thanks for uploading :)
I know this is posted under John’s Hopkins but having a profeasor co-sign a loan is a wonderful testament to his character and hard work. More people need to hear about the wonder work at Meherry Medical College. For over 147yrs they have lead the way in developing future black doctors, dentist, medical professionals, and researchers!
WHAT A STORY! Que luchador es este Doctor Boahene!!! Amazing journey and I have nothing but respect and gives me inspiration that the road to medicine- is not always a straight road.
You are truly motivating brother! I really thank God for words like yours, another impetus to continue my odyssey, to get a medical education in a foreign country. Thanks again!
really nice history :) i just got in med school here in brazil (it's still pretty hard though), and i can't say i have something like this to share but i'm very happy to know i will find some incredible people like him through these years.
Vivienne Thomas left an incredible legacy for surgeons of color to follow at Hopkins and at all other world famous hospitals with cardio surgical practices.
you don't think it's a little ridiculous? He's from Africa, so lets put some bongo drums and people chanting in the background. You don't see a problem with that?
As a Ghanaian-American, nothing makes me prouder. Dreams, goals and aspirations never die. Thanks for encouraging me

EdD5 it’s about opportunity, not all foriegn kids/ Africans get the opportunity to study or come to the US.

You sir, are a true inspiration!

Awesome Man

Breath Taking
He needs to be my mentor!
you the man!
now that's a personal statement!
Din't know he is a Meharrian, the school that helps make dreams come alive
@mostsuccessful agreed!
what's up with the music
That's your takeaway?
you don't think it's a little ridiculous? He's from Africa, so lets put some bongo drums and people chanting in the background. You don't see a problem with that?
I'm saying the music is somewhat disrespectful of his background, why are you triggered by that? I'm saying he should get more respect..
Great story. I'd like to know if JH would sponsor schools in his home country
with free Armis games?
he is an inspiration !! and he has beautiful teeth too...lol
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
😍😍😍
Applause.
