Revisiting the Foundations of Medical Education

The Flexner Report of 1909 established enduring standards for medical education that dismissed holistic health and nutrition as pseudoscience, emphasizing a more surgical and prescriptive approach. This outdated framework remains influential, underscoring the necessity for updated scientific education and care guidelines that recognize the interconnectedness of body systems. Rescinding the Flexner Report is essential for advancing medical practice to reflect contemporary understandings of health and wellness.
