Darin Davidson was born in South Africa, but migrated with his family when young to Canada. He earned a Bachelor's Degree and MD from the University of Ottawa, having decided in high school that medicine would be his calling. Given his passion for sports while growing up, Darin was drawn to orthopedic surgery. He practiced for a number of years and decided to take a break to launch a consulting practice to aid other physicians in grappling with burnout and to aid patients in integrating a more holistic approach to their care. For physicians he advocates adopting a paradigm employed by airline pilots where the amount of time spent flying and amount of off-time is closely regulated.
