    Med School in my 40’s (Part 2) - Dr. Carl Allamby

    Med School in my 40’s (Part 2) - Dr. Carl Allamby

    We’re back with part 2. Former car mechanic, Dr. Carl Allamby definitely didn’t let anything stop him from achieving the dream he had suppressed from childhood. On part 2, he lets us know that although he had major challenges being the oldest in his med school class, the ONLY black male, and one of few who had changed careers, he still found the positive in it all and used family as motivation for success. This lets you know that it is not too late to pursue your dreams.

    From Mechanic to Medical Doctor at 47 - Dr. Carl Allamby

    What a story! Dr. Carl Allamby had a successful career as a business owner and master mechanic but couldn’t shake his childhood dream of medicine. It took a spark to remind him of this childhood dream and that was all she wrote. We learn what it took for him to overcome a childhood of poverty and low expectations from peers. We’ll see why he did not let his age stop him from achieving this dream that once seemed so insurmountable.

    This one was so good we had to bring it back. Have you ever heard of anyone getting 142 rejections from med school? Well now you have. Allow me to introduce you to this wonderful doc, Dr. Italo Brown. This is definitely one of my favorite episodes on this podcast.

Exceptional Podcast

If the opening and closing music doesn’t resonate with you, please check your pulse to make sure your alive lol! The content is on point and much needed during these ever changing and uncertain times. As a black physician, I wish this podcast was available when I was starting my path. I’m extremely happy for all the future black physicians out there, that will have this inspirational gem to inspire them. I would give it ten stars if I could.

Superb Podcast Series

Dr. Dale is a visionary and one of the most influential people I have had the pleasure to meet and call a mentor. The Black Men in White Coats podcast series is something that I look forward to when a new episode is released! To be able to listen from physicians and Med students who have gone through or are going through the process makes my dream feel more and more alive each day and continues to motivate me. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this series!
