The inclusion of women in the medical field, shockingly, began as a prank. In 1847, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was accepted to Geneva Medical College, not based on her scholarly merit, but rather the 150 male students assumed that her application was a joke and went along with the charade, voting unanimously for her acceptance. They were certainly surprised when she arrived on campus changing the course of medicine forever ([@CIT0001]).

Women have become established members of the medical community comprising half of the medical student and residency populations. Despite this strength in numbers, women remain grossly underrepresented in academic leadership positions. Females comprise only 37% of full-time academic physicians. As of 2012, only 13% of full professors, 32% of associate professors, and 43% of assistant professors are female. In"Little Wolves" basketball

The group attended a recent KAHS game and performed some of their drills at halftime of the junior varsity game. The camp was under the direction of Kane boys' middle school coach Matt Gasbarre.
