Özet:

 Aim: In this article, the effect of the education implemented by Mary Mills Patrick, a womens rights advocate and the Principal of the Istanbul Arnavutköy American College for Girls, on the orientation of female students towards the medical profession is discussed. The process of opening the first medical school to train female physicians in the Ottoman Empire is analysed in terms of Turkeys medical history. Material and Method: A report dated July 24, 1917 Medical Education and Medical Practice in Turkey, sent to the Rockefeller Foundation by ABCFM was used for the first time in this study. These original documents were subjected to the method of narrative analysis, which focuses on the unfolding of events from the perspective of the active agents involved. Results: The education implemented at the Istanbul Arnavutköy American College for Girls directed its students to become physicians and was effective in training women to become modern medical specialists. Conclusion: The fact that two Ottoman and 13 Turkish citizens who graduated from college between 1891 and 1960 were among the first female physicians in our country reinforces this result. Under the extraordinary conditions of the armistice period, the Istanbul Arnavutköy American Girls College Medical Department was closed after higher education was banned for foreigners during the Republican period. Two Turkish students attending the Department of Medicine, Sabiha Süleyman Sayın and Hamdiye Abdürrahim Maral, graduated from Darülfünun Faculty of Medicine, which started accepting female students in 1922. They were among the first female physicians of the Republic.

 Amaç: Bir kadın hakları savunucusu olan, İstanbul Arnavutköy Amerikan Kız Koleji Müdiresi Mary Mills Patrickin kolejde uyguladığı eğitimin kız öğrencilerin hekimlik mesleğine yönelmesindeki etkisi tartışılmıştır.
