ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
What does more than four decades in high-stakes medicine teach you about leadership, technology and resilience?
In this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, Nareman Hamdan speaks with Rob Darling, MD, a retired Navy captain and physician whose career has included naval aviation medicine, emergency medicine, service on the White House medical team and global medical support.
Rob shares how attending the Uniformed Services University led to a 25-year Navy career, including work as a flight surgeon caring for naval aviators. He also discusses the decision-making demands of emergency medicine and the importance of giving professional advice with both confidence and respect, even when caring for powerful people.
The conversation explores AI’s growing role in healthcare and Rob’s belief that technological capability should not cause medicine to lose its human side. Rob also discusses his leadership approach, what he looks for when building a team, his habit of asking people to bring solutions rather than problems alone, and why face-to-face discussion still matters.
Rob also opens up about the failure of his first concierge practice, the financial and personal impact it had on his family, and why that experience ultimately became one of the most important learning moments of his career.
