The Chosun dynasty woman doctors served important roles as professional doctors. Most of these woman doctors are believed to have been either assistants to their male counterparts or specialists for certain limited fields such as gynecology. Despite such circumstances, some woman doctors such as 장덕 or 귀금 were even mentioned in the 조선왕조실록 for their outstanding abilities. In such cases where a doctor was recognized for their skills, they were entitled to higher social status and/or financial benefits.
