College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Committee on Fellowship.

Hide Profile

At a meeting of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia held on 27 Nov. 1956, Richard A. Kern moved "that a Membership Committee be created for the purpose of recruiting qualified physicians for Fellowship in the College". On 29 Jan. 1957, a "Special Committee of the College of Physicians for Promoting Proposals for Membership in the College" was established; Roy W. Mohler was appointed to chair the committee.

Over the years, the name of this committee changed from the "Special Committee for Proposals for Membership" to the "Committee on Membership" to the "Committee on Fellowship". The Committee on Fellowship became a standing committee of the College of Physicians in 1972. The by-laws of this year state that the Committee on Fellowship "shall seek candidates for Fellowship and help process their nominations [and] investigate every candidate for Fellowship thoroughly". As of 1992, the Committee on Fellowship remains an active body of the College of Physicians. The current duties of the committee are to "receive all nominations for admission to Fellowship. . . investigate in strict confidentiality the ethical, personal and professional qualifications of each candidate [and] recommend. . . plans for the enhancement and strengthening of the College's Fellowship.
