Seven interviews and related materials relating to women who attended medical school in the 1920s through the 1940s. The interviewees completed training in psychiatry, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, orthopedic surgery, public health, and general practice. These interviews explore a number of topics, among them: women's feelings on beginning medical studies; their perception of themselves as minority students and professionals; and the ways in which women doctors were and are perceived by their patients and by their male colleagues. The "American Women in Medicine" interviews were conducted by Sara Fowler for a 1974 independent study project under the direction of Jacquelyn Hall. Folder 66a contains a research paper by Sara Fowler that includes excerpts from the tapes. Interviews marked with an asterisk (*) are closed or restricted.

Karen Kruse Thomas, a Ph.D. candidate in history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, conducted these interviews as part of a series of interviews with North Carolina health professionals about the origins and growth of the modern health care system, focusing on integration and its effects on health policy. The interviews contain descriptions of medical training and experiences with a focus on changes in medicine brought about by desegregation, new technology, "socialized medicine" and Medicare, and federal health care programs. Special attention is given to the experiences and activism of African American medical students and African American practitioners. There is also a strong focus on the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.
