Virginia Apgar was a trailblazer: one of Columbia University’s first female M.D.s (1933), and one of the first American women to specialize in surgery. Frustrated by chauvinism during her internship, Apgar changed her focus to anesthesiology, which became a specific and separate medical discipline thanks to her. In 1949, she became Columbia’s first-ever full Professor of Anesthesiology.

In 1959, Apgar was appointed Director of the March of Dimes. In that capacity, she continued her energetic efforts to improve the healthcare of infants and children. By the time of her death in 1974, Virginia Apgar was admired for her great contributions to society as well as to science.

Apgar’s research on anesthesia and childbirth led to her greatest innovation: the Newborn Scoring System --better known as the “Apgar Score”-- for assessing the health of newborn infants, which she conceived in 1949, refined, and finally published in 1953.

Apgar's diagnostic regimen has saved countless lives, and has long been a standard worldwide. The compliment of one famous physician holds true: "Every baby born in a modern hospital anywhere in the world is looked at first through the eyes of Virginia Apgar." Next Slide
