Changing the Face of Medicine| Message from the Ad Hoc Advisory Group


In 2001, Donald A.B. Lindberg, M.D., director of the National Library of Medicine, and Tenley Albright, M.D. invited distinguished individuals in the medical community to participate in an Ad Hoc Advisory Group and to nominate exemplary physicians for inclusion in Changing the Face of Medicine, an exhibition that celebrates the lives and achievements of America's women physicians.

Over the last 150 years, thousands of women have pursued a medical degree, have practiced medicine, conducted research, and lived full and rich lives. Their stories and their careers inspire each succeeding generation of women as they open doors, make new discoveries, and change the face of medicine.

It would be impossible to recognize the achievements and contributions of every women physician. We hope that by examining this exhibition, you will consider the woman physicians here as examples of the fuller fabric of women's contributions to medicine and their personal achievements in society.

If you know of a woman physician who you think should be part of this project, we invite you to "Share Your Story", on the exhibition Web site and at the exhibition's Activity Zone.
