Founder
Black Men In White Coats, Texas
Dr. Dale was raised in League City, Texas just outside of Houston, then moved to Columbia, Missouri where he earned both his Undergraduate and Medical Degrees from the University of Missouri. Next, he completed his Internal Medicine Residency training at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, then moved to Dallas, Texas where he completed his Pulmonary & Critical Care training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
Dr. Dale often tells the story of a trip he had during college when he boarded his flight where an older woman took a seat next to him on the airplane. For the duration of that flight, this woman berated Dr. Dale, telling him how poorly he dressed, how dumb he sounded when spoke, and how he would never be successful if he continued to carry himself in the manner which he did. Little did she know that the young black man in sweats was on his way to becoming a medical doctor and all of her expectations of him would fall short. Since that day, Dr. Dale has sought to mentor young black men pursuing careers in medicine. “People don’t expect you to be successful,” he tells them, “but I’m expecting the unexpected!”
Dr. Dale attributes great portions of his successes to his mentors. The impact that they have had on his life is one he desires to have on the life of others. Since his undergraduate years, Dr. Dale has mentored many, from high risk youth to physicians in training.
In 2011, with a team of superb physicians, Dr. Dale founded DiverseMedicine Inc. His belief was (and remains) that an abundant number of highly qualified minority and economically disadvantaged students were having their medical career dreams crushed simply because they had nobody to show them how to do it.
