Description
The Mission of MedChi (pronounced med-k ī ), The Maryland State Medical Society, is to serve as Maryland's foremost advocate and resource for physicians, their patients and the public health.In January, 1799, in Annapolis, with 101 leaders of the medical profession representing most of Maryland's counties present, the Maryland Legislature approved a petition for a charter for an incorporated society of physicians in Maryland to be known as the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland. (Chirurgical was the common spelling of surgical at the time.)As written in the society's incorporation, this special act of the Maryland Legislature was intended to "prevent the citizens (of Maryland) from risking their lives in the hands of ignorant practitioners or pretenders to the healing art." The society became the seventh of its kind in the country.
