Our first
STEM woman!
Dr. Ida Scudder, the founder of CMC Vellore, was our first STEM woman, and she inspired hundreds of women to choose a life in science. Right from the beginning, Dr. Scudder knew she needed to train women to help women, because medical help from male doctors, especially during labour and childbirth, could not be accepted owing to social taboos.
Initially she trained compounders. Formal nurse training began in 1909 and in 1918, she proudly opened the Missionary Medical School for Women, which offered the LMP (Licensed Medical Practitioner) course. In 1942 this was upgraded to a full MBBS degree course, and men were admitted from 1947 onwards.
The Nursing School became the first College of Nursing in India in 1946, and is now a WHO collaborating centre for Nursing & Midwifery. The medical college is consistently ranked among the top colleges in the country.
