Dr. Ko, a self taught Ambidexter, completed Neurosurgery training at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City and earned a MFA from the Academy of Art University with emphasis on medical painting and drawing. During residency she also launched her complementary career in art by using the pulsed ruby laser to create medical holograms of the human brain. Ko regards art as a necessary continuation of her surgical practice. The operating theater is her studio; the treatment of the subject begins with the scalpel and ends with the brush. Dr. Ko is the originator of the monthly internet TV show “Art on Call ~ Medicine, work of Art” on the Healthcare Channel. 2016 AMWA Artist in Residence Shilpa Darivemula Albany Medical College, Class of 2018

Shilpa Darivemula is both a scientist and an artist. A fascination for science and a love for conversation directed Shilpa towards medicine while her training in Kuchipudi and her exposure to various traditional dances drove her towards movement. Kuchipudi is one of seven classical dances from India, requiring exquisite footwork, hand gestures, and facial expressions to narrate stories of Hindu mythology. Captivated by the power of dance, Shilpa has developed projects to use it as a tool for community development -- teaching dance to inner-city youth in Schenectady, teaching refugee women to share their traditional dances in a weekly women’s group, producing Anamika, a mixed-me- dia piece that combined ballet, praise dancing, and Kuchipudi as a call to action against human traf- ficking, and studying connections between traditional dance cultures of the world and their healing and healthcare delivery systems. She has performed at the UN Commission on the Status of Women and at the International Dance Festival in Morocco. Currently a student at Albany Medical College, she continues to merge medicine and dance by working with artists and administration on using arts to increase social and self-awareness in communities. 15 SPEAKERS

The American Women’s Hospitals Service Celebrates 99 Years

The American Women’s Hospitals Service (AWHS) was established in 1917 as an extension of the War Service Committee of the Medical Women’s National Association (later renamed the American Medical Women’s Association). The War Service Committee had been un- successful in persuading the government to grant women physicians commissioned status in the military. Not to be deterred, the women physicians went overseas to the war ravaged countries, and through AWHS, built hospitals and cared for those who were displaced due to war. After the war, AWHS remained overseas to provide aid during religious persecution, genocide, and natural disasters. During the Great Depression, AWHS ran mobile health clinics in rural America to provide desperately needed healthcare.

Over the years and with changing times, the goal of AWHS has been to help fund clinics worldwide that provide care and support the advancement and empowerment of women and children in underserved areas. Specifically, AWHS has sought to foster sustainable and innovative projects in programs both abroad and at home that inspire individuals and work to make a difference in diverse communities. AWHS also provides yearly travel grants for students and residents who work abroad in areas of need. Celebrate the 99th Anniversary of AWHS with a tax‐deductible contribution of $999, $99 or $9.99 or $.99 at the registration desk or at the merchandise table. We are aiming for 100% participation at this meeting!

The Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA)

The Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA) is an international non‐governmental organization (NGO) representing wom- en doctors from all six continents. The association was founded in 1919 by AMWA past president, Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy and is one of the oldest professional bodies at the international level. It is non‐political, nonsectarian, and non‐ profit making. AMWA is a member organization of MWIA, so all members of AMWA are members of MWIA. MWIA’s Theme for the 2013‐2016 Triennium: Prevention and Elimination of Domestic and Sexual Violence.

Be an AMWA delegate to the 30th International MWIA Congress which will be held in Vienna, Austria July 28-31, 2016. Contact Exec- [email protected] and visit mwia.net for more information.

We are very proud to share the news with the world that Dr. Padmini Murthy, is the first Indian born American recipient of the 2016 Blackwell Medal of the American Medical Women’s Association (AMWA).

Dr. Murthy has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Sojourner Truth Pin, the National Council of Women USA Distinguished Leadership award, best physician at work place by the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia, As a child of India, she upholds a very important legacy set by Anandi Gopal Joshi (Anandibai) who was the first Indian Woman to obtain a medical degree on March 11, 1886; the topic of her thesis having been “Obstetrics among the Aryan Hindus”. Today, Indian women are among the world’s best and brightest physicians and constitute a large proportion of medical doctors’ societies in many countries. In her dedication to women’s health Dr. Murthy hosts a radio program with African Views Teleforum where she discusses women’s health challenges and facilitates sustainable health solution on a global level.
