Margaret Anne Carter grew to young adulthood in Carthage and graduated from Carthage High School in 1930.
After graduating from high school Margaret Carter attended Lindenwood College in St. Charles, Missouri. Lindenwood was founded in 1827 by George and Mary Easton Sibley. It is the second oldest higher education west of the Mississippi River.
After graduation from Lindenwood Colllege, Margaret Carter attended Washington University in St. Louis. She received her doctor of medicine degree from Washington University in 1938.
The School of Medicine had a rich, 117 year history of success in research, education and patient care. It pioneered bedside teaching and led in the transformation of empirical knowledge into scientific medicine. From the earliest days, there has been an understanding that "investigation and practice are one in spirit, method and object."
The School of Medicine selects applicants who, in addition to possessing keen minds, demonstrate an ability to perceive and serve their patients' best interests. U.S. News & World Report ranks Washington University one of the top five in the nation.
