From Biography in "History of Homoeopathy in Albany County, NY":
Gertrude Anna GOEWEY BISHOP, M.D.-1878

Dr. Gertrude A. Bishop, sister of Dr. Catharine E. Goewey, page 168, was born at
Greenbush (Rensselaer), Rensselaer County, N.Y. She received an academical and
preparatory education at the New York Conference Seminary, at Charlotteville,
Schoharie County, N.Y.

She pursued the study of medicine under the supervision of Dr. H.M. Paine of Albany
and was graduated from the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women in April,
1877.
Dr. Bishop came to Albany in the summer of 1878, remaining one year; and in May,
1879, removed to 475 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY, where in 1898, she still
resides.

OFFICES AND APPOINTMENTS
While an undergraduate, Dr. Bishop spent one years, 1874, and 1875, at the State
Homoeopathic Hospital for the Insane at Middletown, N. Y. She was the first
competent woman assistant appointed at that institution, and has the credit of
having inaugurated methods of treating gynaecological cases of congestion and
displacement, thereby contributing materially to the relief and ultimate recovery of
the unfortunate sufferers from reflex conditions, hitherto misunderstood and
neglected.

After graduation in the spring of 1877, she passed, creditably, a competitive
examination prior to an appointment for one term of six months, to the position of
Resident Physician to the Hospital maintained in connection with the New York
Homeopathic Medical College for Women.

After the expiration of the term of service at the Hospital in New York, she
accepted an appointment to the position of Resident Physician at Wellesley College,
Wellesley, Mass., where she remained one year.

While a resident of Albany, Dr. Bishop rendered regular and efficient service at the
Homoeopathic Hospital and Dispensary, thereby contributing materially to its support
and usefulness.

Dr. Bishop became a member of the Albany County Homoeopathic Medical Society in
1878."
