“The enrollment of women in the School of Medicine has ceased to be an experiment.” Written in 1923, seven years after the first woman was accepted into Yale Medical School, this sentence signaled the recognition that women were now a part of the medical community. This exhibition explores the history of women in Yale Medical School - faculty, staff, students, nurses, residents, doctoral students, and researchers - through the 20th and early 21st centuries.
