**Ana Janer** was one of the first two women from [Puerto Rico](/source/Puerto_Rico) to earn a medical degree.[1][2][3] Janer and [María Elisa Rivera Díaz](/source/Mar%C3%ADa_Elisa_Rivera_D%C3%ADaz) graduated in the same medical school class in 1909, and thus can both be considered the first female Puerto Rican physician.[4] They both started their practice that same year.[5]
