American Medical AssociationIn 1847, the first permanent national U.S. medical society was organized. The American Medical Association (AMA) met in the Hall of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Two hundred and fifty delegates were present for this first U.S. national convention of medical professionals, coming from 22 states, 28 medical schools and 40 medical societies. The AMA superceded the National Medical Association which existed only one year since its organization on 5 May 1846. The first state-chartered medical society - the Massachusetts Medical Society - was incorporated in Boston on 1 Nov 1781. The first, though short-lived, local medical society existed in Boston prior to 1735 to 1741.« |
