History Sandwiched In: Geneva Medical College
February 3, 2021, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Our first History Sandwiched In program for 2021 will be held on February 3, 2021 at 1 p.m. Please note, this is a change from our normal time. The series features short presentations conducted on the first Wednesday of the month during the workday lunch hour. For the February program, Geneva Historical Society Executive Director Kerry Lippincott will share a short history of Geneva Medical College.
Established in 1834 as a department of Hobart College, Geneva Medical College's claim to fame is granting a medical degree to Elizabeth Blackwell. Lippincott will explore the story of the Geneva Medical College. Along with how Blackwell became a student, she will answer questions like what a medical education was like in the mid-19th century, why a medical college was established in Geneva, and the legacy of the Geneva Medical College.
