In the last half of the 19th century, medicine was becoming organized. In Washington, DC, in 1870, the attempt by black physicians to join the local medical society met with fierce and successful resistance. Ultimately, a separate, racially integrated medical society was formed. One hundred years ago, it became the still-vital Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia, the local branch of the National Medical Society.
在19世纪后半叶,医学开始走向有组织化。1870年,在华盛顿特区,黑人医生试图加入当地医学协会,却遭遇了激烈且成功的抵制。最终,一个独立的、种族融合的医学协会成立了。一百年前,它成为了至今仍很重要的哥伦比亚特区内科与外科医师协会,即全国医学协会的地方分会。
