The Flexner Report, authored by Abraham Flexner and published in 1910, is a critical examination of medical education in the United States and Canada, commissioned by the Carnegie Foundation. It highlights the inadequacies of medical training compared to European standards, revealing that many institutions lacked academic integrity and proper oversight. The report calls for the closure of substandard medical schools, higher entry requirements, and stricter regulations to improve the quality of medical education and practice.
