Born and raised in Ghana, Dr. Quarshie and his family moved to Delaware when he was 15 years old. His mother is instrumental in his development. She is a motivator and provided him with structure and discipline. 

After earning his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine in East Lansing, he went on to complete his residency in internal medicine at Metro Health Hospital in Wyoming, Michigan. He completed his infectious disease fellowship under the tutelage of Dr. Koirala at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield.

Infectious disease is a medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis, control, and treatment of infections. An infectious disease specialist’s practice may consist largely of managing nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections or it may be out-patient based. 

Passionate about world health, Dr. Quarshie has been on multiple medical trips to Africa and Asia, where he provides free healthcare to patients in hospitals and clinics. In Ghana, he had the opportunity to work with HardtHaven Children’s Home, which was established in 2007 to provide a safe home in Ghana for HIV/AIDS victims and children in extreme need for care. He has also had the chance to travel to remote villages to provide healthcare. 

In his spare time, he enjoys playing sports such as soccer and basketball, lifting weights, and traveling internationally. The most important thing in his travels is food, seeing as how he is a foodie. His objective is to learn and grow as a person.
