Genealogical resource - AMA Decesead Physicians File

NLM is home to numerous genealogical resources for those seeking information about ancestors with medical or health related training. Among these is the American Medical Association (AMA) Deceased Physicians Card File, a collection of nearly 400,000 index cards created by the AMA between about 1901 and 1969 focusing on everyone in the U.S. who received a medical degree. The cards were updated throughout the physician's career with information about degrees obtained, licensing, addresses and finally cause of death and sometimes obituary citations and even portraits.
