After graduating from Bishop College Medical School in Canada in 1894, Maude Elizabeth Seymour Abbott went to Europe for postgraduate study, which stimulated her interest in pathology and research. She returned to Montreal, where she was appointed Curator of the McGill Medical Museum in 1900.
In 1919, Dr. Abbott was appointed Acting Curator of the Canadian Army Medical Museum and Managing Editor of its catalog. Granted a leave of absence, she came to the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1923. Dr. Abbott, together with her colleagues, founded the first full-time Department of Pathology and Bacteriology at the College, and reorganized its museum before she returned to McGill in 1925.
