National Women Physicians Day is observed worldwide every February 3 to recognize female doctors and the specific obstacles they face in their medical careers. The date commemorates the birthday of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, who graduated in 1849 after overcoming significant prejudice. Established in 2016 by the Physician Moms Group and Medelita, the day aims to highlight the contributions of female physicians and foster collaboration among them. Celebrations often include sharing personal stories online using hashtags like #NationalWomenPhysiciansDay and #IAmBlackwell, as well as supporting and encouraging female physicians through gratitude and donations to relevant organizations. Despite advancements, women in medicine still encounter discrimination, making this observance significant for promoting gender equity in healthcare.
