This is a list of the first qualified female physician to practice in each country, where that is known. Many, if not all, countries have had female physicians since time immemorial, however modern systems of qualification have often commenced as male only, whether de facto or de jure. The dates given in parentheses below are the dates the women graduated from medical school. Studies have shown that patients treated by female physicians may have better outcomes than patients treated by male physicians.[1][2]
