Maryland Women in Medicine
March 03, 2008 – June 13, 2008
Women’s History Month opens with the Maryland Women in Medicine exhibit.
The story of medical women in Maryland is a rich one. From the Women’s Medical College of Baltimore to modern movers and shakers, the exhibit running from March 3 – June 13, celebrates the many contributions of Maryland women in medicine.
This exhibit was developed to compliment the very successful Changing the Face of Medicine held this past fall in the library. The basis for this exhibit was an essay written by Larry Pitrof, Executive Director of the Medical Alumni Association of the University of Maryland, Inc. The alumni association also generously underwrote the costs of the exhibit.
Please join us for a celebration officially opening the exhibit on Wednesday, March 12 from 4pm-6pm.
All are welcome.
I have a student who wants to do a historical investigation on Maryland women in medicine – the theme for history day is innovations in history. Can you direct me to where I could obtain a list of women or advances in medicine made by women? Thanks for your help.

One of the very first sectors of society that opened up their doors to women was medicine. The sciences may have been a natural doorway for women back then to experiencing the world.
