Episode 35 - Dr. Dale Lawson, Emergency Medicine Physician, Phoebe Sumter Medical Center
My guest for Episode 35 of the ATL Career Journey podcast is Dr. Dale Lawson, who is an emergency medicine physician at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center based in Americus, Georgia. I've had the privilege of knowing Dale for over 30 years and is one of the most amazing humans that I know! We met at Georgia Tech through the Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity and I saw back then how multi-faceted she is. Incredibly smart, tireless worker, great athlete, excellent wife and mother, and just a genuinely good person. In 1988, Dale became the only the second female driver selected to drive Georgia Tech's Ramblin' Wreck car. She graduated with a business degree and worked in the telecom industry for several years before engineering a major career pivot into medicine. Some of Dale's keys to success are to be curious, be patient, and be open to opportunities. We also talked about the impact of COVID and the challenges that she's faced in the ER.
