Aleen Cust – the first woman to join the veterinary profession, 100 years ago today!
Photograph of Aleen Cust, c. 1927
One hundred years ago today, on the 20th December 1922, Aleen Cust became the first female MRCVS. To mark this significant event in the history of the British veterinary profession, we have digitised documents from our archives that tell Cust’s story. It begins with her unsatisfactory first encounter with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons back in 1897, when she first applied to sit an RCVS examination.

Great job on your article about the first woman in veterinary medicine! It was truly informative and I wanted to offer some additional insights to enhance the article for your readers. Including more information about veterinary professionals could be very helpful and add even more value to your content.
1. The veterinary profession involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing illnesses and injuries in animals, ranging from domestic pets to wildlife and livestock.
2.Veterinarians complete rigorous education and training, including a four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, before becoming licensed to practice veterinary medicine.
In addition to medical care, veterinarians also provide services such as animal behavior consultation, nutrition advice, and preventative care to help keep animals healthy.
Furthermore: Dr jan bellows organizes an webinar on animal dental disease i will invite you to join us.
