At the end of the century women gained the right to study for the same qualifications as men (Science Museum Brought to Life, n.d.).

“When an autopsy revealed that Barry was a woman, the war department and the medical association were so embarrassed that the findings were, hidden and Dr. Barry was officially buried as a man” (Lyons, n.d.).

The two women were instrumental in establishing specialist clinics for women and children, and women’s training hospitals” (Science Museum Brought to Life, n.d.).]]> 2017-03-24 17:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483236 Elizabeth Blackwell shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483412 http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/broughttolife/people/elizabethblackwell]]> 2017-03-24 17:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483412 Elizabeth Garrret Anderson shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483568 http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/broughttolife/people/elizabethgarrettanderson]]> 2017-03-24 17:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483568 Mary Putnam Jacobi shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483983 “In 1863 she became the first woman to be graduated from the New York College of Pharmacy. Even though she also received a degree from The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania (the first approved, legal medical school for women in the world) and thereafter interned at The New England Hospital for Women and Children, she, sought the prestige of a diploma from a great university" (Lyons, n.d.). ]]> 2017-03-24 17:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162483983 Mary Putnam Jacobi shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162484297 http://www.civilwarwomenblog.com/mary-putnam-jacobi/]]> 2017-03-24 17:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162484297 shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162484502 “It was only during the First World War that the need for doctors combined with declining numbers of men in medical school saw women being encouraged to enter medical training. In theory medical practice is now open to all. Entry into medical courses is competitive, and can be expensive. Some specialities, such as surgery, continue to be dominated by male practitioners” (Science Museum Brought to Life, n.d.).

It is unfortunate that women were only first accepted into the medical field in order to save soldiers. ]]> 2017-03-24 17:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162484502 Federation of Medical Women of Canada shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162485204 https://fmwc.ca/

"The Federation of Medical Women of Canada (FMWC) is committed to being The voice of women doctors in Canada, across all specialties and provinces" (Federation of Medical Women of Canada, 2017).

This website is a great support system for women who are in the medical field. We think that support systems such as these promote the power and accomplishments that us women can achieve. ]]> 2017-03-24 17:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162485204 Online Resources shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162485628 2017-03-24 17:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162485628 Woman on Reproductive Health in the Developing World shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162486017 This video is a great representation on how important it is for woman in developing countries to receive medicine to prevent childbirth and receive medicine during and after child birth. In just the short time of the video, it lays the facts on how many millions of woman want to avoid pregnancy but cannot because of the lack of contraceptive’s woman have access too. It also explains the current death rate of woman in developing countries due to the lack of access for medicine and compares it to the number of woman that would survive if they had access to proper contraceptives, pain medications, antibiotics etc. ]]> 2017-03-24 17:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162486017 Five Women Biologists in Developing Countries Win 2016 Elsevier Foundation Awards shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162487350 This article highlights the life changing work of amazing women in the medicinal field, that are contributing immensely to global health care research and discoveries.  

Bringing attention to great intelligent individuals such as these women really allows daughters to grow up knowing they can achieve their dreams of changing the world. ]]> 2017-03-24 17:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162487350 Barbra’s Story shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162497047 Warning: graphic content. The reason we chose this video is because Barbra’s story directly reflects how access to medicine and medical care is critical to saving woman’s life’s. Barbra received medicine and medical care to the best of the medical association’s ability and it saved her life. I hope this video can be shared in hopes for people to be aware of what we take for granted, can save woman’s lives; like Barbra’s.]]> 2017-03-24 18:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162497047 References shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162497307

It brings statistics to show how much improvement has happened in the USA. It also tells the story of Nancy Dickey, the first female president of the American medical association. This video is important in relation to woman in medicine because it’s important to know who started woman’s medical evolution in America.]]> 2017-03-24 18:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162497483 Scientific Breakthroughs made by Women shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162499111 This article highlights some of the successful woman who have made a huge contribution to medicine. I think this article is very important because recognizing woman’s achievements is the first step to woman’s equality. A lot of people don’t realize how many woman actually made a huge contribution to the evolution of medicine and without these discovers we wouldn’t be as far and advanced in the medical services as we are.  ]]> 2017-03-24 18:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162499111 shevonjohnstone https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162500416 Opinion Piece ]]> 2017-03-24 18:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shevonjohnstone/1ggjv57awb97/wish/162500416
