Description
Join WEDU PBS for the screening and Q&A session for The Feminine Touch: The Struggle for Equality in Medicine on April 13th at 6 p.m. at the LECOM Bradenton Campus, School of Dental Medicine in Bradenton. About the Film: In 1892, Andrew Taylor Still did the unimaginable when he accepted women and men equally in his new medical school. The Feminine Touch showcases the valiant women who rose above adversity to become osteopathic physicians in those early years, and includes today’s prominent female DOs who carry on that legacy. Their fight for equality is intertwined with the struggles of osteopathic medicine to be accepted as a valid scientific practice, illuminating how osteopathic medicine developed into the flourishing profession it is today.
