Rachel U.'s Company Details
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, founded in 1787, is the oldest professional medical organization in the country. Twenty-four physicians of eighteenth-century Philadelphia gathered 'to advance the science of medicine and to thereby lessen human misery.' Today, over 1,500 Fellows (elected members) continue to convene at the College and work towards better serving the public.\\Throughout its 200 year history, the College has provided a place for both medical professionals and the general public to learn about medicine as both a science and as an art.\\This historic spirit continues in our current mission: advancing the cause of health, while upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine.
