The University of Kansas Medical Center will host the "Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America's Women Physicians" traveling exhibit beginning this week.

The exhibit looks at the evolving nature of the field, with the focus on female physicians and how more females are able to become professionals.

The Dykes Library will host it from Oct. 3 to Nov. 11.

“We are delighted to have been selected as a site for this exhibition,” said Karen Cole, director of Dykes Library. “Although ‘Changing the Face of Medicine’ focuses on women in medicine, its lessons about persistence, dedication, and courage in one’s life choices speak to everyone – men and women and young adults – and to people in all lines of work.”

Along with the medical center, the University of Missouri-Kansas City Health Sciences Library and the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences Library partnered to bring the exhibit to Kansas City. It is one of only 61 sites in the United States to take part in the exhibit.
