Stacie Walton

Dr. Stacie L Walton, MD, MPH, has had a remarkably diverse career in the healthcare industry. Retired from a large HMO, she served as a clinical Pediatrician, Diversity Champion, and Communication Consultant. Her current role as the preceptor in Pediatrics for Family Medicine Residents from UC Davis at a Federally Qualified Health Center is crucial. With over 25 years of experience, she has provided Grand Rounds, lectures, interactive workshops, and facilitated conferences on cultural competence for healthcare providers at all levels of their training in multiple venues across the United States, including Puerto Rico. In 2018, she founded her consulting company, The Diversity Doctor, leveraging her extensive experience as a medical consultant for healthcare providers and institutions.
Dr. Walton's commitment to community involvement is inspiring. She is an active participant in two national organizations: the Society for Intercultural Education, Teaching, and Research (SIETAR USA) and Coming to the Table, an organization dedicated to addressing the legacies of enslavement in the US. When she is not speaking to students and educators, she devotes her time to facilitating community Racial Healing Circles in the Sacramento area and mentoring students through an organization called Yes2Kollege.
Dr. Walton's unique combination of medical and cultural expertise distinguishes her. After attending Stanford University, where she majored in Cultural Anthropology, she earned her medical degree from Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. She trained at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and later earned her MPH from the University of California, Berkeley.
She relishes family, enjoys traveling, escapes into writing, and loves to knit.
