Early life and educationEllen Maud Balaam was born 30 November 1891 in Melbourne, Victoria to Harry and Ellen Balaam.[1] Inspired at a young age to pursue a medical career,[2] she attended Melbourne Continuation School (later MacRobertson's Girls High School) from 1906-1908[3] where she won a scholarship at the end of primary school to continue her schooling at high school. She won a further scholarship to attend university,[4] and enrolled in medicine at the University of Melbourne. She taught mathematics at a public school in order to supplement this scholarship.[2] She graduated in 1915 with her M.D., with second class honours in all subjects. CareerBalaam was appointed to a resident medical officer position at the Melbourne Hospital[5] the following year. She married her classmate, Dr Thomas Wright in 1916,[6] and they both served as medical officers. They went into practice together,[7] before Balaam was appointed to a clinical assistant position at the Queen Victoria Hospital in 1917. She was steadily promoted over the next years to a full-time position and surgeon in 1924. She was the first woman to practise general surgery in Melbourne.[8] She continued to practise medicine and surgery until 1952, when she retired. Her husband died in 1964.[2] Balaam died in 1985.[1] LegacyBalaam was a supporter of the Melbourne Continuation School.[3] The Dr Ellen Balaam Award for Promise in Science award is given in her name by the Palladian Society (past pupils) of the School.[9] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=allgs&gss=sfs28_ms_r_f-2_s&new=1&rank=1&gsln=balaam&gsln_x=1&msfng=harry&msfng_x=1&msfns=balaam&msfns_x=1&cpxt=1&cp=2&catbucket=rstp&MSAV=1&MSV=0&uidh=000|title=Balaam - Ancestry.com.au|website=search.ancestry.com.au|language=en-AU|access-date=2017-06-25}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Balaam, Ellen}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=The biographical dictionary of women in science|last=Ogilvie|first=Marilyn and Harvey, Joy|publisher=Routledge|year=2000|isbn=0415920388|location=|pages=72}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:9817/Parker.pdf|title=Girls, Empowerment and Education: A History of The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School 1905–2005|last=Parker|first=Pauline F.|date=2006|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article196136222|title=EDUCATION EXHIBITIONS.|date=1909-01-28|work=Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954)|access-date=2017-06-25|pages=4}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://74.50.51.68/search.do?view=detail&page=1&id=32709&db=object|title=Ellen Maud Balaam(1892-1985) studying with other students in the students' room at the Melbourne Hospital|website=Vernon Browser|language=en|access-date=2017-06-25}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article1599957|title=Family Notices|date=1916-07-29|work=Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957)|access-date=2017-06-25|pages=13}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2106075|title=PERSONAL.|date=1916-05-24|work=Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957)|access-date=2017-06-25|pages=8}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204090075|title=ABOUT PEOPLE.|date=1924-02-02|work=Age (Melbourne, Vic. : 1854 - 1954)|access-date=2017-06-25|pages=16}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://macrob2016.blogspot.com/2015/11/more-speech-night-awards_9.html|title=More Speech Night Awards ...|access-date=2017-06-25}} 3 : Australian surgeons|1891 births|1985 deaths |
