Our Team

Md Hoque

Founder and Executive Director

Md is a medical student at the University of Rochester who founded Doctor’s Inn Podcast to amplify the voices of physicians and bring practical mentorship to future doctors. His path in medicine has been shaped by global health experiences across Argentina, Kenya, Mozambique, and Peru, where he worked alongside clinicians caring for underserved and resource-limited communities. These experiences deepened his commitment to equity in healthcare and shaped his patient-centered perspective. Alongside this, he has contributed to research in cardiology and critical care, but his true passion lies in building bridges—between patients and providers, between learners and mentors, and between medicine and humanity. Outside of medicine, he enjoys reading, hiking and backpacking, cooking fusion dishes, and creating a family memory book with his partner.
