Reference excerpt

Dr. Owusu Achaw Duah is a Ghanaian medical doctor, retired lecturer, and politician. He is the CEO and president of Martin Luther King Health Training School. In 2006, he was elected as the member of parliament for the Offinso South constituency through a by-election following the death of Kwabena Sarfo in August 2006. Owusu was born May 4th, 1948. As a child he grew up in Kumasi, Ghana. In his hometown, he saw people who did not have access to medical attention or have the money to become educated. These observations motivated and influenced his future careers and goal, therefore helping him to change the world for the better.

Education Owusu had his ordinary and advanced level certificates from Konongo Odumase Senior High and Opoku Ware Senior High schools respectively. In high school, he learned and enjoyed chemistry, leading him to study and get a career in chemical pathology. At the age of 20, Owusu attended medical school for 6 years. He graduated from the University of Ghana Medical School in 1973, earning his MD, and also holds a post-graduate diploma in Telemedicine. After medical school, Owusu was a medical officer and did practicals at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for five years. In 1978, he went to Canada, and attended the University of Western Ontario, for residency training, for a year and a half. After going to the University of Western Ontario, he went to the University of Ottawa to continue residency and fellowship in chemical pathology.

Politics Owusu contested and won the Offinso South constituency by-election in 2006 on the ticket of the New patriotic Party. During this time, he started the Martin Luther King Memorial Clinic, located in Accra, Ghana. He started it so the people facing poverty were able to seek medical attention if needed.

Career He is a medical director at Dr Martin Luther King Clinic in Accra and an external examiner at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. He is a retired lecturer and former Head of Chemical Pathology Department of University of Ghana Medical School. In 1994, he went to the Bahamas and became a pathologist at Princess Margaret Hospital. At the time, Owusu had many options of where to choose to continue his pathology career in Canada. However, due to the shortage of doctors at Princess Margaret Hospital, Owusu became a pathologist there to help those in need. In 2006, Owusu started a college, named Martin Luther King Health Training School, located in Accra, Ghana. It was a school for the underprivileged who wanted to study to become doctors. He is currently the President and CEO of Martin Luther King Health Training School.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Owusu Achaw Duah

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Owusu Achaw Duah claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Owusu Achaw Duah before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Owusu Achaw Duah ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Owusu Achaw Duah

In research: Owusu Achaw Duah appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Owusu Achaw Duah in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Owusu Achaw Duah is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Alumni of Opoku Ware School, Chemical pathologists, Ghanaian MPs 2005–2009, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Owusu Achaw Duah outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
