Washington Healthcare On Wednesdays
Washington Healthcare on Wednesdays (WHOW)
Each week, MSDC provides online community and on-demand information to meet the personal and professional needs of the physician community in Washington, DC.
February 3 is National Women Physicians Day
This day, which falls on Elizabeth Blackwell’s birthday, recognizes her groundbreaking role as the first female medical doctor in the U.S. and celebrates all the women physicians across the country, and the progress they’ve made since Blackwell’s time. Nationally, there are still fewer female doctors than male doctors, but the progress is steady. In 2019, for the first time ever, the majority of medical school students were women (Source: Association of American Medical Colleges).
