The world’s first & only cardionephrologist is 47 year old Nigerian, Dr Olurotimi Badero.

Born in Lagos, he studied medicine at OAU Ife, internal medicine at the University of New York, earned his specialty degree in nephrology at Emory University, Atlanta.

While at Emory, he found that the commonest cause of death for patients was heart disease not kidney disease, so he went back for a specialty degree in cardiology.

In 2009, he went to Yale for 3 more specialties in interventional cardiology, peripheral vascular medicine & peripheral vascular convention. Spending 10 years of continuous post-grad medical training.

He’s ED of Cardiac Renal & Vascular Associates; Medical Director of St. Joseph Hospice, and on the global Advisory Board of the therapeutics experts on Thrombosis and Atherosclerosis, Merck Pharmaceuticals USA.

To survive in the US, he drove a cab during the day and studied at night. He did not have money to buy books so always used the library. At a time,he had to eat only bread for 3 days.

The minimum pass mark for every course was 90% and he couldn’t afford to have a resit because of the cost, so he studied extra hard to excel.
