American Institute of Homeopathy
The American Institute of Homeopathy, established in 1844, describes itself as the oldest extant national physician’s organization in the United States.
The founding president of the AIH was Constantine Hering. Notable past presidents of the AIH include Royal S. Copeland and Bushrod Washington James. Corresta T. Canfield was the first woman to serve as an officer of the American Institute of Homeopathy.
In 1900, the association was granted permission by the U.S. Congress to establish the Samuel Hahnemann Monument in Washington, DC.
