National Women Physicians Day is  observed on February 3rd each year.

This day celebrates the birthday of Dr.  Elizabeth Blackwell, who in 1849 became  

the first woman to earn a medical degree  (M.D.) from an American medical school.

It's a day to honor and acknowledge the  accomplishments of women physicians everywhere,  

recognizing the significant path they have paved  for future generations of female physicians.

The day not only commemorates Dr. Blackwell's  pioneering role in medical and feminist  

history but also highlights the progress and  contributions of women in the field of medicine.

This observance serves as a platform to  celebrate the achievements of female physicians,  

advocate for gender equity in the medical field,  

and inspire young women to  pursue careers in medicine​.
