Stories of Women in Medicine from 1948 - 1975 with Anne Walling, MB, ChB

Anne Walling, MB ChB, joins the Faculty Factory Podcast this week to discuss some incredible stories of resilience she uncovered while researching her new book "Women in Medicine: Stories from the Girls in White."

Dr. Walling interviewed 37 women who fought for credibility, worked harder than is almost imaginable, and graduated from medical school between 1948 and 1975.

She wanted to learn why they went into medicine and how their experiences unfolded throughout medical school, residency, and entry into practice.

The work was conducted by Dr. Walling as formal qualitative research with IRB oversight and open-ended questions. She joined us at the Faculty Factory for her second interview on our show to share the stories and insights she gathered.
