Association of American Physicians
From Mark Twain in the German Language Press
Towards the End of the 20th century, there was an increasing number of American doctors staying in Germany to further their study of medicine and some of them founded the Association of American Physicians (see "American Physicians in Berlin", Harper's Weekly, 11 Feb. 1893, 37, 1886, 137).
In American Doctors and German Universities, Bonner writes about the Association:
Americans in Berlin also had their own medical organization. An Association of American Physicians was founded in the city in 1891 under the leadership of the American dentist Willoughby Dayton Miller, who by this time was in charge of dental teaching at the University of Berlin. Also instrumental in establishing the new association were Dr. Fred Weber of Milwaukee and Dr. Judson Daland of Philadelphia. Weekly meetings were held in the Dental Institute to hear lectures on medical topics. This organization lasted two years but there is no record of further meetings or activities after 1893. It was followed by the more successful Anglo-American Medical Association of Berlin, which was organized in 1903 and flourished until the First World War.
