Please! Read the exposition in my "Faces of Homeopathy." The AMA was
formed to defend itself against the rise of the
homeopaths-- who were coming from their own ranks.
There were NO laws introduced making it mandatory to study allopathy.
Who would make such laws? It is not the business of the
federal government nor of the states.
It was the SCHOOLS themselves who slipped into allopathy through the
hiring of allopathic staff to teach subjects such as surgery and anatomy.
The schools stopped teaching homeopathy by about 1880. See Dan Cook's
excerpt in my book.
Sorry to say, but you (and many others) have been totally misinformed
by getting an incomplete history of what happened.
The ONLY laws that that started to change things happened in the mid
1890s when some states began to re-form Medical Societies who had the
power to "license" doctors at the state level. Even then, most state
board had both allopaths and homeopaths on the boards-- although the
homeopaths, by this time, were usually not well trained.
After the Flexner Report of 1910, it was the State Boards that
decided that they would not let students from schools that were
thought of as "not grade A" to even sit for the state exams. This
eliminated many homeopathic graduates from applying for licences. The
sitting of the exam was based on the school rating and NOT upon the
quality of the answers the students could supply.
The final blow happened in 1935 when the AMA decided to not recognize
any school or hospital that had the name "homeopathy" in their title.
Thus NY Homeopathic became NY Medical College, etc. By that time all
the state schools (Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, etc.) decided it was a waste
of time to have TWO departments and merged the homeopathic and
allopathic departments-- this was done by about 1925.
