==Medical career==<br />
David was strongly encouraged to pursue a medical career, and she became one of the first female physicians, enrolling in the [[University of Cambridge]] in 1883 after completing an undergraduate degree in English Language and Literature at the [[University of Michigan]].<ref>Teresa Sullivan "University of Michigan Honors Program" http://www.honors.umich.edu/HonorsProgram09.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090824170349/http://www.honors.umich.edu/HonorsProgram09.pdf |date=2009-08-24 }}.</ref> After completing training with a specialty in surgery, David returned to [[India]] and quickly rose to prominence in the [[New Delhi]] region. David was known for her charity towards the untouchable caste, creating the first "public service campaign" through literature distributed at clinics affiliated with her. David enlisted the help of both British and nationalists in the creation of a chain of clinics across India for the care and welfare of "untouchables." Many of her clinics survived British rule and continue to this day, though the separation of [[Pakistan]] resulted in the loss of funding supply for many clinics.<ref>Burmiller.
