| Abstract | This paper, containing the invited written commentary, "Another Flexner Report?" by Rose Asera, Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, is the result of the joint Research and Information Committee recognizing the need for clarification on the nature of a "Flexner" report. Asera's commentary describes the use of "Flexner" type studies in teacher education, noting that whenever there is criticism of, or discontent with, a field (as there currently is in teacher education), there are always calls for a "Flexner Report" to solve the problem. The Carnegie Foundation Bulletin 4, "Medical Education in the United States and Canada" (1910), commonly known as the Flexner Report, is widely credited with the reform and reconstruction of the entire medical school curriculum. The report was the result of a mandate by the American Medical Association to conduct a study of North American medical schools. The study was completed by Abraham Flexner, a former schoolmaster who had received his undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University. He chose the Johns Hopkins Medical School as the model program to which all others were compared. Flexner visited all 155 North American medical schools, spending only one-half hour at each collecting data. His report recommended a drastic decrease in the number of medical schools, affiliation with universities, and establishment of the scientific model in medical education. The original Flexner Report was part of a broad move of professional education from the private sector to the university. When this happened, professional education incorporated the values of the academy (scientific thinking, rigor, and analysis). (SM) |
