The Title of Honored Medical Doctor of RSFSR was established in January 1940, one the first two Russian Federation honorary titles (the other was Honored School Teacher); it was bestowed by the government of the Russian Soviet Republic along the same lines as the "Honored" and "Peoples" titles of the all-Union level. The medal first appeared in 1975 and was then back-issued to all the holders of the title that had been awarded earlier and were still alive at that point.
