The Society was founded in 1890 as an organization which fostered the professional, intellectual and economic development of Italo-American physicians who were struggling to establish themselves in a less than congenial and welcoming environment.
It has continued this tradition of intellectual, professional and social interaction among physicians of Italian heritage for more than one hundred years with four dinner meetings and informative lectures at famous New York City restaurants and exclusive member only Italian American Social Clubs.
We strive to continue the tradition of helping future generations by sponsoring an annual medical school scholarship in conjunction with The Columbus Citizen's Foundation.
The society welcomes new members, both those of Italian descent as well as Italophiles.
““Those who have dissected or inspected many [bodies] have at least learnt to doubt; while others who are ignorant of anatomy and do not take the trouble to attend it are in no doubt at all.””
