The field of medicine in America got a certified backup later in relation to the various Western European countries such as Spain. “In the western European nations, the medical profession was highly valued such that it had a high esteem unlike in America.” In America, the profession did not attract much value. Thus, it played a small part because the American social, political, and economic values on which it lies have fuelled the establishment of a unique health care delivery system. The demand for health care services and professionals was unstable in America during the early days. This situation posed challenges in professionalizing medicine because few individuals were concerned with the health care sector. In addition, there was disorganization in the provision of medical education due to the integration of hospitals and medical professions, unlike in Europe, where professionalism and health facilities were systematic and integrated new advances in the systems of medical science.
Furthermore, America attached more attention to applied science, thus neglecting research on basic science. This strategy contributed to disarray in medical practice for practitioners and hence the delay in professionalizing medicine in America. The absence of a core health institution in America also contributed to the delay in professionalizing medicine. Unlike in some western European countries, there lacked a body to create awareness of the significance of professionalizing medicine.
