Dr. Robert G. Darling worked in the White House Medical Unit as the first board-certified emergency medicine physician. He provided both primary care and protective medical support services to president Bill Clinton, vice president Al Gore, their immediate families and other senior White House officials at the White House and while they traveled all over the world. During this time, Dr. Darling administered emergency and preventative medical services in over 40 countries, including numerous undeveloped regions and third-world countries with limited medical services.

He also worked with the U.S. Secret Service in the preparation for unconventional weapon attacks against the president and the creation of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense (CBRNE) training and readiness programs.
