Next, Cora Belle attended Northwestern University, where she decided to change career paths and went into business as a purchasing agent. A few years later, when she moved to Baltimore, Cora Belle began the study of medicine that led her to become a doctor. After starting at the Medical College for Women in Baltimore, she decided to move to Boston to study at The College of Physicians and Surgeons. Her training also included a stint at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.<br /><br />As Dr. Cora Belle began her medical career in the mid-1880s, she established a joint practice in Baltimore with</span><span> her sister Dr. Flora A.
