Inspirational Black Men and Women in Medicine: Dr David Dalton on 5 Things You Need To Create A Successful Career In Medicine
1)Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began your career?
One of the most memorable moments I have is meeting President Lyndon B. Johnson and Senator John Heinz.
I was surprised to learn that they both knew of me when we met. Knowing that you’re a frog in a big pond at times, you have the choice to stand out for many reasons, and the President and Senator opened my eyes to what pond I was really in.
Another thing that surprised me was that they were both familiar with the work of the National Minority Health Association, an organization I founded in 1988. During moments like that, you acknowledge the importance of your work and reaffirm your intention to continue, and you’re not always aware of the impact you’re leaving on individuals of such credibility, which is truly inspiring.
2)You are a successful leader. Which three-character traits do you think were most instrumental to your success? Can you please share a story or example for each?
Determination. When you know you have barriers to overcome that are beyond your control, you have to be determined to address them in a practical way and understand the process.
Recognition of environment. Being Black doesn’t always have to be a deficit or a burden in a certain environment. You recognize that in order for you to be in that environment, you have to have a background of excellence or outstanding pathway for you to get your foot in the door.
Excellence. It takes excellence to wrap up the first two points. In my life, I always tried to maintain an attitude of excellence. The color barrier eventually fades and neutralizes a lot of historical deficiencies among minorities.

When Johnson left office, peace talks were underway. He died suddenly of a heart attack at his Texas ranch on January 22, 1973. The day before his death, he had learned that peace was at hand in Vietnam.
