Interprofessionalism and Equal opportunities Today and Tomorrow

 Faculty of Medicine | Gender Equality
Marie Heim‐Vögtlin (1845 – 1916) is considered an important pioneer. She was the first Swiss woman to graduate in medicine in 1874 at the University of Zurich, which had been the first med‐
ical faculty in Europe to admit women. During her time as physi‐
cian, she founded in 1901 the Zurich Nurses School. At the 100th anniversary of her decease, the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Gender Equality will honor Marie Heim‐
Vögtlin with a symposium on interprofessionalism and equal opportunities.
