As of 2019, the number of female medical students in the United States was higher than their male medical student counterparts.
This shift in gender empowerment has been a long time coming, and the way has been paved by women physicians who worked hard, faced discouragement and fought to tear down walls that kept them from doing their best work in the medical field.
Today, National Women Physicians Day is here to pay honor and respect to the past, present and future of women in the medical field.
National Women Physicians Day is celebrated on February 3, the birthday of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the U.S.
