PICKETT ( 1878-1971 ) Alice Pickett was the first woman U of L faculty member and one of the most beloved physicians of the early 20 th century , cherished by patients , students and peers ( Fig . 5 ). A pioneer obstetrician , she became U of L ’ s Chief of Obstetrics , a position she served in over 25 years until her retirement in 1952 . She established state-wide clinics for prenatal care and birth control , and she wrote

extensively of medical advances . A colleague proclaimed , “ Her patients displayed toward her an affection and depth of feeling I have never seen associated with any other doctor .” She stands out as a role model to all for combining skill with compassionate care .
CONTEMPORARY WOMAN PHYSICIAN LEADERS
Carrying the legacy of the female physicians cited above , contemporaries continue outstanding medical contributions . Dr . Toni Ganzel is the first woman physician to serve as U of L Medical School Dean , and is a fine role model for students , while guiding the school through turbulent times . Dr . Nancy Swikert of Northern Kentucky is current President of the Kentucky Medical Association following much KMA leadership service . She follows Dr . Ardis Hoven of Lexington , who was the first woman KMA President ( 1993 ). Dr . Hoven subsequently became the first Kentucky woman to serve as
President of the American Medical Association ( 2013-14 ), and is now the first woman chair of the World Medical Association . She skillfully guided the AMA ’ s advocacy of health care for all citizens at a critical time in the early 21 st century . Dr . Linda Gleis was the first woman physician GLMS President and KMA Secretary ( 1999- 2001 ), and she continues to serve as KMA Treasurer and Member of its Board of Trustees and Foundation Board . Dr . Mary Barry combines a busy Internal Medicine practice with Editorship of Louisville Medicine , where she has established her role as conscience for our medical community . Dr . Joann Schulte directs the Metro Louisville Public Health Department , and continues the solid contributions of previous Director , Dr . LaQuandra Nesbitt , in public health service to our community .
Like the outstanding woman physicians who preceded them , all these women represent of the many more who contribute to the excellence of American medicine . A celebration of these contributions and a commitment to greater fairness for women and others historically underrepresented is most deserved .
