Medical Society of South Carolina

Hide Profile

Benevolent organization of physicians founded, 1789, in Charleston, S.C.; considered the fourth oldest medical society in existence; the Society functioned as a board of health for Charleston until the City established a board in 1808; served as a licensing board for physicians and apothecaries; in 1840s, helped found the South Carolina Medical Association; in 1824, the Society founded the Medical College of South Carolina (today known as the Medical University of South Carolina) for teaching and research. In 1852, with a bequest from the will of Col. Thomas Roper, the Society established Roper Hospital "to treat all sick and injured people without regard to complexion, religion, or nation." In addition to caring for patients, Roper Hospital also served as a teaching facility for the medical students
