Alexander Holmes Baldridge (1795–1874) suggested that because of its American roots the tradition of Eclectic Medicine should be called the American School of Medicine. It bears resemblance to [[Herbal medicine|Physiomedicalism]], which is practiced in the [[United Kingdom]].{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}
In 1827, a physician named Wooster Beach founded the United States Infirmary on Eldridge Street in [[New York City|New York]]. Ten years later,
The Eclectic Medical Institute in [[Worthington, Ohio]] graduated its first class in 1833. After local [[body snatching]] led to the notorious "Resurrection Riot" of 1839, the school was evicted from Worthington and settled in Cincinnati during the winter of 1842–43. The Cincinnati school, incorporated as the Eclectic Medical Institute (EMI), continued until its last class graduation in 1939, more than a century later. Over the decades, other Ohio medical schools had been merged into that institution. The American School of Medicine (Eclectic) in Cincinnati operated from 1839 to 1857, when it merged with the Eclectic Medical Institute.<ref>[http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/arb/archives/collections/MedicalSchools.html ''Former Cincinnati Medical Schools and Colleges''], Archives and Rare Books, University Libraries, University of Cincinnati</ref>

{{quote|In 1990 I visited the Lloyd Library in Cincinnati, Ohio, where, in the basement, I found the accumulated libraries of ALL the Eclectic medical schools, shipped off to the Eclectic Medical College (the "Mother School") as, one by one, they died. Finally, even the E.M.C. died (1939) and there they all were, holding on by the slimmest thread, the writings of a discipline of medicine that survived for a century, was famous (or infamous) for its vast plant 'materia medica,' treated the patient and NOT the pathology, a sophisticated model of [[vitalist]] healing.<ref name=autogenerated1 />}}
Major Eclectic practitioners include [[John Uri Lloyd]], [[John Milton Scudder]], [[Harvey Wickes Felter]], John King, Andrew Jackson Howe, [[Finley Ellingwood]], Frederick J. Locke,
