Today is National Women Physicians Day. This day honors the many contributions of women physicians and celebrates their many achievements. A shout out to my wife, Lisa Canter, who has been a doctor for more than 33 years.
Today also highlights the birthdate of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to graduate from a medical school in the United States in 1849. National Women Physicians Day serves as an opportunity to recognize the progress over the years made by women in medicine and to encourage more women to pursue careers in healthcare.
