XXVIII. Applicants before Georgia’s Board of Physicians, 1826-1881
Beginning in 1826, individuals applying for licenses in medical fields in Georgia had to appear before a state board of physicians. For most of the applicants, the board recorded their name, residence, medical degree received, thesis, remarks on licensing (whether accepted, rejected, or postponed), and the year of the application. The original of this register is at the Georgia Department of Archives and History in Record Group 6-10-10. A bound, indexed photo static copy of this manuscript is also in the Georgia Department of Archives and History, Central Research Library (Oversize G610 G35r). The following is the list of names found in the index to that volume; however, you will need to consult the index in the book for the page number if you wish to look up the record.
After 1881 . . . most of the registrations . . . were recorded at the county level.

The Palmetto State established the South Carolina College on December 19, 1801, as part of an effort to unite South Carolinians in the wake of the American Revolution. South Carolina's leaders saw the new college as a way to promote "the good order and harmony" of the state. The founding of South Carolina's state college was also a part of the southern public college movement spurred by Thomas Jefferson. Within 20 years of one another, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia established state-supported colleges.
In the antebellum era, the Palmetto State generously supported the South Carolina College. The institution featured a cosmopolitan faculty, including such noted scholars as Europeans Francis Lieber and Thomas Cooper, as well as renowned American scholars John and Joseph LeConte. Offering a traditional classical curriculum, South Carolina College became one of the most influential colleges in the South before 1861, earning a reputation as the training ground for South Carolina's antebellum elite.
