Voice of KNUST shared the news on Saturday, September 26, 2026, spotlighting the milestone as a testament to his sustained academic commitment since his NSMQ days.

From the NSMQ stage to the wards of KNUST

For many Ghanaians, the NSMQ is the first glimpse they get of the country's sharpest secondary school minds.

Epton's performance in the 2020 edition placed him among the memorable contestants of that year, with his school, OWASS, recognised as one of the country's historically strong quiz competitors.

After completing his secondary education, Epton channelled that academic foundation into medicine, enrolling at KNUST for the rigorous six-year programme required to earn a medical degree.

The training is widely regarded as one of the most demanding in the Ghanaian university system, combining classroom study with intensive clinical experience.
