Abstract:
Hansung Physicians Association was organized in Dec. 1915. Its members were medical practitioners residing in Kyungsung(Seoul). It was apposed to Kyunsung physicians Association, of which members were Japanese. After the foundation of Hansung Physicians Association some other local physicians associations were beginning to be founded. Hansung Physicians Association's social activities were fee-free round practice and improving sanitary conditions. It was basically gathering-meeting or interest group for doctors, which is reflected in the fact that Hansung Physicians Association limited its members as medical practitioners.
