Tidbits of WisdomFIRST WOMAN
Virginia Apgar (1909 - 1974)
Virginia Apgar’s career was full of firsts: In 1937, she became the first female board-certified anesthesiologist and the first woman to achieve the rank of professor at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, where she was the first professor of anesthesiology. In 1952, she presented a five-step system for assessing the condition of newborn babies within a minute of birth and periodically after that. Prior to the development of the test, babies weren’t typically given much attention after birth, which often led to problems being missed until it was too late. |
