Hi I was wondering if anyone knew how a person went about becoming a Physician/Doctor in the 1820's or 1830's. I have a ggg grandfather who is listed in several census as being a Physician. He was born in NC (wake co. ca.1807) and I know that he was in Florida at some point. He and his family came back to NC where he died ca 1870-1880. Just for clarification his name is John Sanders NEIGHBOURS. I would like to find out how he became a doctor and why he went to Florida. Was there some reason he might have gone (and taken his family with him) regarding his occupation? Thanks very much for any help.
