Listen Later

In this episode of Canadian Time Machine, we mark 150 years since Jennie Trout became the first woman licensed to practice medicine in Canada—a breakthrough that helped open the doors of the profession to women across the country. We hear from historian Heather Stanley about Trout’s fight for education and equality, and from Dr. Ramneek Dosanjh, a physician and advocate for equity in healthcare, on the legacy of her achievement. Together, they trace how one woman’s determination helped shape 150 years of progress in Canadian medicine.
