Flexner Report. Medical Education In The United States And Canada

by Abraham Flexner

The Flexner Report, published in 1910, is a seminal work that revolutionized medical education in North America. Written by Abraham Flexner under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation, the report meticulously examined the state of medical schools in the United States and Canada. It found widespread deficiencies in teaching standards, inadequate facilities, and a lack of focus on scientific rigor. The report's stark criticisms led to a period of dramatic reform, resulting in the closure of many substandard schools, the establishment of stricter entrance requirements, and the integration of research and clinical practice into medical training.
