Welcome to the 100 Years of Women Website
As we celebrate the 100-year anniversary of women at Yale School of Medicine, we reflect upon the contributions that these women have made to the School of Medicine and to the world. Women were first admitted to YSM in 1916. Today, about half of our medical students are women, and women are among our most accomplished faculty members.
We are commemorating this milestone in a variety of ways, including a symposium, an exhibition, and videos. A book detailing the lives and challenges women have faced at YSM is also being considered. We encourage you to explore this website, share your stories, and participate in the events surrounding the centennial celebration.
We also encourage you to use this moment to reflect on both the issues that are important to women and the accomplishments of women at the School of Medicine.
