It was the first school devoted entirely to the medical education of women and to upgrading that education, unlike school in her time, where it only took 3 years of private study with a practicing physician and 32 weeks of pass/fail college study before you obtained a medical degree. It later became one of the first medical schools in America to mandate four years of study. In additional to her private practice and efforts for women's rights, Blackwell took up the fight against venereal disease, or more specifically, the fight to repeal the Contagious Disease

According to the article, Changing the Face of Medicine, By establishing the New York Infirmary in 1857, Elizabeth Blackwell offered a practical solution to one of the problems facing women who were rejected from internships elsewhere but determined to expand their skills as physicians. She also published several important books on the issue of women in medicine, including Medicine as a Profession for Women in 1860 and Address on the Medical Education of Women in 1864.

Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable. In fact in my placement school, the reading scheme that is used starts the children off with ‘picture only’ books so the children are encouraged to talk about the pictures in the book and make their own story up and ask questions. Technology: Computer programmes (apps and games), interactive whiteboard, story tapes, cds are all ways of stimulating a child’s communication development. These days a lot of programmes are interactive and children can hear and respond to different applications made specially to help develop their

Not only did Blackwell have a governess but also a private tutors to held aide in her intellectual development. The idea to pursue medical school came to Blackwell when her friend who was dying said that in her opinion that a female physician would have made her treatments more comfortable.
