The romance novel involving characters in the medical profession originally focused on nurses, and these books were called "nurse novels." Though there were hundreds of novels about nurses, a few books centered on women doctors. These books reached their heyday in the 1960s, and though they faded in popularity as women began to have meaningful careers outside of education, nursing, and the secretarial pool, they remain a popular genre in modern romance.
