More Women Studying Medicine

Recently the Chang family provided us with this wonderful image of Dr Victor Chang when he was studying at Sydney University in 1962. One thing that really struck us was that there are no women.

We wondered how much has changed since then so we asked our friends at Sydney University. Are a lot more women studying medicine? For example, Dr Emily Granger who is one of Australian’s pioneering Cardiothoracic and Heart Lung Transplant surgeons serves on our Grants committee. Read more about her here.

This year at Sydney University 46% of students studying medicine are women. That’s an enormous change!

We here hope that Dr Victor Chang has inspired the next generation of both women and men to study cardiology, and to adopt Dr Chang’s mission, to share knowledge and innovation in this field.
