Many professional organizations established strict entrance requirements such as educational qualifications, training, and certification exams that were often biased against minorities, women, and immigrants. These requirements were used to prevent these groups from entering and working in certain professions. For example, medical schools often had quotas limiting the number of Jewish and black students. The American Medical Association also excluded women from membership until 1915. Similarly, law schools often required fluency in English, which excluded many immigrants.
