Idaho needs ‘more of us’: Gem State has smallest percentage of women doctors in US

"On this National Women Physicians Day, marked annually on Feb. 3 in honor of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female to attend medical school in the United States and later the first listed on the U.S. Medical Register in the 1850s, Nesbit is moving ever closer to joining the smallest cohort in any of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Just 26% of physicians in Idaho are women, the lowest percentage in the country, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. The number, nationally, is 37%."
