The woman physician is an important social force in modern life. Some
medical colleges require for admission a university degree, so that the
course of training may cover seven or eight years. As a rule only girls
who are strongly attracted to medical work and who are specially gifted
for it, undertake the study of medicine. In addition to university work
and medical school training, the young woman doctor if possible should
spend some time on the staff of a hospital and should take postgraduate
study either before beginning private practice or shortly after. For the
first few years she may hardly be able to meet her living expenses. She
may, however, obtain a position as a school physician or with an insurance
company. The woman physician needs strength, health, a fine nervous system,
