National Medical Librarians Month is celebrated each year during the month of October. We are taking this opportunity to honor the contributions of all Countway Library staff who support the Longwood Medical Campus and beyond to carry out the health and public health missions of education, research, patient care and community services.
September is Women in Medicine Month! The Center for the History of Medicine celebrated by researching Myra Logan, the first woman to perform open heart surgery.
The Countway Student Advisory Group is looking for students from Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health!
I am sending out this week’s message in advance of National Voter Registration Day which is Tuesday, Sept 22nd. On this day, numerous volunteers and organizations will remind people of the importance of voting and will help people register to vote.
