Flexner Report" [Hake (2010a)]. The abstract reads:
***********************************************
ABSTRACT: Team-Learning's Jim Sibley asked "Does anyone have a copy
of the 2010 Flexner report they can send me?" In response: (a) I
referred to Cooke et al. (2010) at <http://amzn.to/aTvhxN>, and (b)
Deirdre Bonnycastle of the DrEd list referred to the Canadian version
at <http://bit.ly/9Dgj6o>.
***********************************************
For information on the classic Flexner Report of 1910 see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexner_Report>. For comments on the
neo-Flexner Report of 2010 see the signature quote.
"[Educating Physicians] is a very important book that comes at a
critical time in our nation's history. We will not have enduring
health care reform in this country unless we rethink our medical
education paradigms. This book is a call to arms for doing just that."
George E. Thibault, president, Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation [see at
