A catalyst for positive change in women’s health, May Cohen graduated at the top of her class in 1955 when fewer than 7% of medical students in Canada were women. Following a 20 year career as a family physician in Toronto, Dr. Cohen joined the department of family medicine at McMaster University in 1977 and served as associate dean of health services from 1991 to 1996. She co-founded the first faculty of medicine Women’s Health Office in 1991, triggering several medical schools to follow suit, and resulting in the creation of the Women’s Health Inter School Curriculum for Ontario’s medical schools. This institutionalization of women’s health transformed the educational experience of all health students, the experience of female students and the status of female professors in ways taken for granted today. Her success in drawing the medical community’s attention to the multiple issues of gender, sexuality and women's health, along with the ensuing research in women’s health and the careers of women physicians, has substantively impacted patient care and experience.
