| Description | CMA is a professional organization representing the physicians of the state of California.
The association was founded in 1856 by a small group of physicians who knew it was their duty to fight for their patients and for their profession. Confronted with the challenges of rampant quackery, epidemics of contagious disease, and a desperate need to establish standards for the profession, physician leaders of the time called upon their colleagues to help them form the Medical Society of the State of California (as it was called back then) “to develop, in the highest possible degree, the scientific truths embodied in the profession.”
On March 12, 1856, the medical society held its first meeting at Pioneer Hall on "J" Street in what is now Old Town Sacramento. The society’s first president, Benjamin Franklin Keene, M.D., led the meeting of 75. The dynamic physicians who founded the Medical Society of the State of California dedicated their organization to “promote the science and art of medicine, protection of public health, and the betterment of the medical profession.” |
