I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Stacie Walton several years ago when we developed an MPH level course for students and conducted public health workforce training to improve participant’s cultural competency. At the time we worked together, cultural competency was just beginning to be acknowledged as an important consideration in medical care and public health. Dr. Walton was ahead of the game in that she helped to address the sensitive issues that go along with this type of training in an evidence-informed and professional manner. She was never afraid to address challenging comments in the classroom and always made participants feel safe and, therefore, able to learn. She is compassionate, always trying to understand the others’ point of view and willing to challenge students when they did not support their assertions with evidence. When Dr. Walton left Saint Louis University, the medical school and the school of public health lost a true gem. We were very fortunate to have her for the time we did, and I can speak for myself and others who have worked with her that she taught us all how to better address the sensitive issues related to cultural competency training, both in and outside of the classroom.
