Boston University Medical School has a rich history dating back to 1848, when it began as the New England Female Medical College. Notably, it was the first institution in the world to offer medical education to women and also graduated the first Black female physician. In 1873, the medical college merged with Boston University, becoming the first coeducational medical school in the United States.<\/p>\n
