Celebrate Women in Medicine

March is Women’s History Month

Women make history, and that’s certainly true in medicine. This Women’s History Month, take time to recognize the women in medicine who broke boundaries, made discoveries, and changed the way medicine works - as well as the women doing so today.

We believe this month gives us the opportunity to:

  • Recognize the women who’ve shaped the medical field

  • Feature the leaders making tomorrow’s history

  • Highlight the importance of history in shaping our world today and in the future

Join us in celebration this month and subscribe to our newsletter so you can discover these women’s stories all year round.


Here’s How

We’ve put together a short list of ways you can show your support for women in medicine during Women’s History Month. The best way is to share their stories.

  1. Be Social: Show your support for women in medicine by posting on social media using #womenshistorymonth, #womensupportingwomen, #womeninmedicine, #femaledoctor.

  2. Discover. Read stories about historical figures in medicine on the Foundation’s blog, or take a look at our Oral History Collection.

  3. Connect. Identify the female leaders at your medical organization and learn more about them. Even better, take time to meet with them so you can learn from them.

  4. Say Thank You: Whether it’s a friend, colleague, or your own doctor, take a moment to thank a woman in medicine that you know.

  5. Donate: Our history is often defined by those who write it than by those who do it. It’s important to support organizations like the Foundation so that our history is both well-preserved and shared in a way that inspires a better future.
