- Description
- Significant events were also unfolding within the US medical profession during the 1950s as a series of conflicts raged, fought mainly between general practitioners advocating fee-for-service on one side, and corporate medical practice (of which occupational medicine was a part) on the other. In January 1950 the American Medical Association (AMA) took over the Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology (JIHT) (which had run from 1936 to 1949) and merged it with their own journal, Occupational Medicine (Chicago), which had been founded 4 years earlier by William A. Sawyer and had published issues until 1948. The new journal was named the Archives of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Medicine (AIHOM).
