The American Medical Association (AMA) was founded 175 years ago, and certain moments are particularly noteworthy in the AMA’s evolution. On July 14, 1883, the AMA published the first issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Nathan Smith Davis, Sr, a two-time president of the AMA, was the first editor. Stakeholders regard the global, peer-reviewed journal as one of the United States’ most influential medical journals.
Nearly 25 years later, the AMA unveiled the first American Medical Directory, now the Physician Masterfile, in 1906. The directory was primarily limited to being a compilation for mailing purposes. However, it now comprises vast professional data on nearly all Doctors of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine in the United States and related territories.
Furthermore, the AMA set up the Centre for Health Equity in 2019 to engender racial parity in medicine.
