title: Origins of the South Carolina Medical Association.
abstract: Responding primarily to the need to improve standards of medical education and licensing, 86 physicians attended a Medical Convention of South Carolina over a three-day period in February 1848 to form the South Carolina Medical Association. Many of our present activities and concerns can be traced to their resolutions.
