In 1956, only months after becoming the first American woman to win an Olympic Gold Medal, Tenley Albright entered Harvard Medical School as one of five women in a class of 135. She practiced as a surgeon, medical educator and public advocate before joining MIT as a Visiting Scientist. In 2005, Dr. Albright founded MIT Collaborative Initiatives to promote the value of collaboration across multiple disciplines and the principles of systems thinking in solving today’s complex social issues.
Dr. Albright believes the discipline and dedication she learned on the road to becoming a world champion figure skater helped prepare her for her career in medicine and beyond. As a skater, she won five consecutive national championships, and was the first American woman ever to win the world title and the first American woman to win Olympic gold.
