Today, we celebrate International Women's Day with a show of some of our women physician members at MedChi, past and present.
In the early years of women in medicine, many women from countries which did not have medical schools which admitted women, came to the US to study. In looking at the yearbooks from the early years of the Women's Medical College in Baltimore, you can find women from Puerto Rico, Japan, China, Russia, amongst many other nations.
As you may know, Baltimore had a medical college for women from 1882-1909, when it became more common for medical schools to admit women. If you'd like to read more about this school, please click here to see the article I wrote several years ago.
Today, and really, every day, we celebrate women in medicine, and all of the other women we know.
Hi Meg, You should have given Marcia a shout out on this special day. After all, she served medicine in her unique capacity, with no doubts about her hard work and loyalty. Now that she has been displaced by these upstarts, she might start haunting the place for real.
