National Women Physicians Day (Feb. 3) marks the birthday of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States in 1849.
At ACEP, we honor our women physician trailblazers and celebrate all the women in EM who are paving the way for future generations.
Listen to these commemorative podcast episodes:
- ACEP Frontline: Dr. Ryan Stanton hosts a panel discussion with ACEP President-elect Dr. Aisha Terry, AAWEP Chair Dr. Alecia Gende, and EMRA President Dr. Jessica Adkins Murphy.
- ACEP Nowcast: Resident Fellow Dr. Sophia Görgens interviews trailblazer Dr. Pamela Bensen, the very first female emergency resident in 1971.
Give your physician mentors a shout-out. AAWEP is encouraging us to publicly acknowledge a woman physician who has mentored, inspired or helped you along the way. Tag ACEP in your shout-outs on social media or post through AAWEP's EngagED channel.
