The American Medical Association (AMA)’s House of Delegates passed a resolution labelling chiropractic as an unscientific cult. The AMA’s purpose was to prevent medical physicians from referring patients to chiropractors and from accepting referrals of patients from chiropractors, to prevent chiropractors from obtaining access to hospital diagnostic services and membership on hospital staffs, to prevent medical physicians from teaching at chiropractic college’s or engaging in any joint research, and to prevent any co-operation in the delivery of health care services. The AMA indicated that its actions reflected a genuine and reasonable concern for scientific method in patient care.

The American Medical Association (AMA) in 1963 formed a Committee on Quakery which worked to eliminate chiropractic. A primary method to achieve this goal was to make it unethical for medical physicians to professionally associate with chiropractors.
