I've just uploaded some short videos on our YouTube Page: MedChi Museum and Archives. Most of these are less than a minute-and-a-half long, and are also being published on our Instagram page.
I hope that you will spend three or four minutes watching them. Here is the LINK.
The Center for a Healthy Maryland is publishing a series of brief biographies of medical pioneers on their Instagram account this month, and I will be sharing some of them here.
In 1855, the Medical & Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland changed its by-laws to include both Black and Women physicians. Prior to that, they had read "gentlemen" members, which obviously didn't apply to women, and at the time, it also did not apply to Blacks.

Well, we have come whipping into the 21st century and set up an Instagram account for the MedChi Museum and Archives. The address is www.instagram.com/medchimuseum/
We would love it if you gave us a follow to see what we're doing. As you know, we are always finding interesting things in our collections, and if you follow along on Instagram, you will get a snapshot (haha) of that. The blog will be for longer, more informative posts.
The Center for a Healthy Maryland now has an Instagram page! And we really hope you will give us a follow. There are so many interesting things that we find that really don't warrant an entire blog post, but they are fascinating none-the-less.
Our goal is to post an item from our collections every day, as there is NO shortage of pieces here at MedChi. In fact, I am relatively certain that we could post every day for the next 225 years, and still have lots to go!
This image is the 1898 yearbook cover from the medical, dental and law schools at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Great name!
