Examining Boards - Medical Examiners Board - Board of Physicians Applicants Registry
Series
Identifier: 006-10-010
Scope and Contents
The Georgia General Assembly created the Board of Physicians in 1825 to regulate the "Botanic" and "Thomsonian" practices of medicine. The board was repealed in 1836, revived again in 1839, and re-created without change in 1847. In 1881 the legislature abolished the board and its power to license physicians. In the board's place it required a diploma from an incorporated medical college or school. This registry of applicants covers the board's existence from 1825 to its final dissolution in 1881.
