Dr. Sophia B. Jones was Canada's first Black woman to earn a medical degree. 🩺
Dr. Jones was born in 1857 in Chatham, Ontario. She was accepted to the University of Toronto in 1879, where she completed an undergraduate degree in biology. Dr. Jones dreamed of pursuing medicine, but the University of Toronto's Medical School did not accept women at the time. Instead, she became the first Black woman to graduate from the University of Michigan's Medical School and the first Black Canadian woman to receive a medical degree (1885).
Dr. Jones continued to make history and became the first Black female faculty member at what would become Spelman College and was instrumental in founding the first nursing program in the American South. Dr. Jones practiced medicine and spearheaded public health programs prioritizing healthy equity for Black Americans, during her long career. Her 1913 article, "Fifty Years of Negro Public Health" examined systemic barriers to health care for Black people and was one of the first research publications by a Black woman in medicine.
