Flower and Fifth

The "Flower" was after a 19th-century Governor of New York, right? RahadyanS 05:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

First Woman Physician

According to the United States National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to graduate from a medical college in the United States (1849). See the following web page: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/changingthefaceofmedicine/physicians/biography_35.html

The statement in this article that Emily Stowe was the first woman to graduate from medical college in the US is therefore incorrect according to the previously cited authority. Also since Elizabeth Blackwell graduated from Geneva College in New York State it would not be correct to say that she was the first female MD to graduate in NY either. Perhaps a claim can be made for New York City or New York Medical College. Hochstein (talk) 23:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Section: History

According to this article, the New York Medical College was founded in 1850 at 112 East 13th Street:

Jacobi, Abraham. "The New York Medical College 1782-1906" Annals of Medical History Vol. 1 No. 4 (Winter 1917), p. 370, col. 2.

This contradicts the information given in the section. Vzeebjtf (talk) 23:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

New York Medical College and Hospital for Women vs. Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary

I've removed Kin Yamei and Lurana W. Sheldon from the list of notable alumni.

There were two distinct women's medical schools in nineteenth-century New York City, the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women (founded by Dr. Clemence Sophia Lozier and affiliated with New York Medical College) and the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary (founded by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell at what is now Lower Manhattan Hospital.) The similar names of the two schools frequently lead to confusion in secondary and tertiary sources, since even contemporary primary sources often identify alumnae of these two schools as graduates of "the women's medical college in New York" without specifying which one is meant. As noted on their individual pages, Dr. Kin and Dr. Sheldon were graduates of the Infirmary College, not NYMC. (Potential COI disclosure: I am the College Archivist and historian at New York Medical College and am making these edits in the interest of historical accuracy.) 64.118.223.196 (talk) 17:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
