.
The collection consists of the correspondence and records of the Committee on Oregon Medical History of the Oregon Medical Association and publications, manuscripts and photographs regarding medical history in Oregon.
The Oregon Medical Association (OMA) got its start as the Oregon State Medical Association (OSMA) in September,1874, at the insistence of local physicians who yearned for regulations on state's medical practitioners. Dr. Alred C. Kinney was elected the first President, and interestingly enough was much later also the 50th President (1924). The next leader, Dr. Rodney Glisan (1875) lobbied for a State Board of Health. His annual meeting's "entertainment" was a field trip to Dr. Hawthorne's Insane Asylum.
The next big projects for OSMA was the admittance of women physicians. Sisters Angela and Ella Ford hit a trifecta, being 1) the first women to graduate in the Pacific Northwest; 2) the first from Willammette's Medical Department; and the first in OSMA (1877).
Early meetings were held in a variety of places- hotels, union halls,-even fire stations. They began to focus (1882) on internal organization and on lobbying for more regulation of physicians. This at long last was established with the Medical Practice Act (1889) which created the Board of Medical Examiners (now the Oregon Medical Board).
The collection is open to the public.There are no restrictions on access. This collection is open to the public.
