Medicine at 250 Years
In recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, IMA is launching a new 10-part article series looking back at the last 250 years of American medicine — and asking what we must restore for the future.
The series will explore innovation, patient trust, physician independence, informed consent, medical ethics, public health, and the doctor-patient relationship.
As each article is published, we will add it here.
We hope this series sparks reflection, conversation, and renewed commitment to a more human, independent, patient-centered future for medicine.

Don’t fall for the history psy-op!
US Medicine didn’t start 250 years ago but hundreds of years earlier.

Thank you for sharing this, one thing we are never short of in this community is curiosity, perspective, and a willingness to look beneath the surface.
You are absolutely right that the story of this land, its people, and its medical traditions did not begin in 1776. There are much older roots and many important histories worth remembering.
For this IMA series, we are using America’s 250th anniversary as a lens to reflect on the last 250 years of American medicine, especially innovation, patient trust, physician independence, informed consent, medical ethics, public health, and the doctor-patient relationship.

In this video Dr. Kat Lindley shares her journey from practicing inside the system to opening her own direct primary care practice.
She explores the path forward and says it begins by returning medicine to its roots: one doctor, one patient, and healthcare decisions made together, not dictated by insurance companies, corporate systems, or third-party interests.
Her prescription is simple:
Promote independent practice.
Help patients understand what care actually costs outside the insurance maze.
Restore the doctor-patient relationship as the center of every healthcare decision.
