Medical education in the United States and Canada
Book • 1910
Commissioned by the Carnegie Foundation, Abraham Flexner's report was a comprehensive survey of medical schools in the United States and Canada, revealing widespread deficiencies in standards, facilities, and instruction.
Flexner recommended closing substandard schools, raising admission requirements, and aligning medical education with university-based, scientific training.
The report is widely credited with transforming medical education in North America, leading to the closure of many proprietary schools and the establishment of rigorous, research-based medical training.
