In succeeding years Elisha Bartlett pursued a distinguished career of teaching and writing, holding many different posts including professor of theory and practice of medicine at Transylvania University, Lexington, Kentucky, 1841 and 1846; professor of the theory and practice of medicine at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, 1844-46; the same position at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, 1849-50; professor of the institutes and practice of medicine in New York University, 1850-52; professor of materia medica and medical jurisprudence in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, 1852-55; and lecturer on the topics of materia medica and obstetrics at the Vermont Medical College in the spring and summer months from 1843 to 1852.
