The field of medicine has a long history of honoring firsts – the first to perform surgery, to research a particular topic, or to discover a basic science principle. Our society continues that tradition by honoring an instrumental set of firsts at the University of Miami School of Medicine (UMSM). On September 22, 1952, the UMSM opened its doors to its first incoming class of medical students. This class graduated in June 1956 and was composed of 24 males and 3 females. The first male and female to cross the stage and receive their M.D.s from UMSM was Sidney J. Adler and Kathleen Everitt, respectively. Today, Dr. Sidney J. Adler has a successful Obstetrics & Gynecology practice in Boca Raton, Florida. Dr. Kathleen Everitt Kircher practice Pediatrics in LaGrange, Illinois before returning to her hometown of Panama City, Florida. With hindsight, the Adler-Everitt Academic Society honors this great set of firsts as we recognize the importance of what began with them.
