Annie Hennigar: A Dalhousie Original
Meeting with a patient was rarely a predictable affair for Dr. Annie Hennigar (1873-1950), who in 1906 became one of the first female graduates of Dalhousie's School of Medicine. While most of her female colleagues at the time practised in towns or worked as missionaries, Dr. Hennigar chose instead to take up a horse and buggy and become a travelling country doctor — the first woman in the Maritimes to do so.
