Jackson received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1808. He studied under James Hutchinson and Caspar Wistar.  From 1809 to 1815, Jackson ran the family pharmaceutical business.  He was president of the Philadelphia Board of Health during the 1820 yellow fever outbreak. In 1821, he became a founder and trustee of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and taught materia medica and pharmacy at the college from 1821 to 1827.

From 1827 to 1835, Jackson assisted Nathaniel Chapman in the teaching of physiology at the University of Pennsylvania. Jackson himself held the professorship of the institutes of medicine at the university from 1835 to 1863. He also taught at Philadelphia Hospital.

Samuel Jackson became a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia in 1848. He was also a member of the American Medical Association, the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia Medical Society.
