Women Reached Starry Heights in Medicine

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: There’s no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish—“Michelle Obama.” Historically, women have faced barriers to entering the field of medicine, being relegated to roles as caregivers rather than recognized as physicians and surgeons. Before 1847, United States medical schools excluded women. We aim to turn the spotlight on the great efforts of women made before until we have the current shiny situation.
