Saloz-Joudra's successful medical practice, however, was not enough to change the subordinate position of female doctors in Geneva. In 1894, she applied for admission to the Medical Society of Geneva, an application that was subsequently denied. In the Society's annual report, published that same year, it says: “On the proposal of a few members, our office met and we even held an extraordinary meeting to examine the opportunity of some modifications to our regulations. The result of these meetings was that, for the moment, no change is necessary." After the Society refused of his wife's candidacy, Dr. Charles Saloz decided he would not apply. Neither would ever be admitted to that professional association.
