Definitions
noun
1
The act of conferring a license for an activity.
2
The condition of being licensed.
The American Medical Association (AMA) was formed in 1845 to gain for medical doctors a monopoly on legal licensure as health practitioners. The young AMA waged fierce (and quite successful) battles to de-certify the then-dominant natural healers — a range of herbalists, midwives, and homeopathic doctors.
