HiSTORiCAl PERSPECTivES iN MEDiCAl EDuCATiON The Flexner Report ― 100 Years Later Thomas P. Duffy, MD Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut The Flexner Report of 1910 transformed the nature and process of medical education in America with a resulting elimination of proprietary schools and the establishment of the bio - medical model as the gold standard of medical training. This transformation occurred in the aftermath of the report, which embraced scientific knowledge and its advancement as the defining ethos of a modern physician. Such an orientation had its origins in the enchant - ment with German medical education that was spurred by the exposure of American edu - cators and physicians at the turn of the century to the university medical schools of Europe. American medicine profited immeasurably from the scientific advances that this system al - lowed, but the hyper-rational system of German science created an imbalance in the art and science of medicine. A catching-up is under way to realign the professional commit - ment of the physician with a revision of medical education to achieve that purpose.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 391 163 CS 215 167 AUTHOR Bonadonna, Angelo TITLE To Logology and Back--The Late Essays of Kenneth Burke. PUB DATE Jul 95 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the Annual Penn State Conference on Rhetoric and Composition (14th, University Park, PA, July 12-15, 1995). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Critical Theory; *Essays; Higher Education; *Language Role; Linguistics; *Literary.Criticism; *Rhetoric; *Rhetorical Theory IDENTIFIERS *Burke (Kenneth); Logology ABSTRACT As a writer and critic, Kenneth Burke defies convenient pigeonholing. Even if just one segment of Burke's public writings is considered, the 40-plus critical essays of the post-Libbie (his Muse and secretary), post-LSA ("Language as Symbolic Action") era, the difficulty of categorizing him remains. The earlier periods of his life are more or less defined by decade, which presents a rather hollow version of Burke. The search for an understanding of this post-Libbie period must strive for a suitable strategy for appreciating the full complexity of Burke's work. Burke said language not only enables but requires situations to be approached strategically. So as a means of reviewing the works of this period, a list of strategies for classifying them is helpful. First, the scholar might take the lead of other Burkean commentators and identify the distinctive nature of the late essays. James Chesebro (1993), for instance, identifies 1968 as the year that Burke finally gave up the "comedic posture" and got into the serious business of ontological inquiry.

  • US Medical Education Reformers Abraham Flexner (1866-1959) and Simon Flexner (1863-1946)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 443 765 SO 031 860 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty J. TITLE U.S. Medical Education Reformers Abraham Flexner (1866-1959) and Simon Flexner (1863-1946). PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 12p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Biographies; *Educational Change; *Educational History; Higher Education; *Medical Education; *Professional Recognition; *Social History IDENTIFIERS *Flexner (Abraham); Johns Hopkins University MD; Reform Efforts ABSTRACT This paper (in the form of a dialogue) tells the stories of two members of a remarkable family of nine children, the Flexners of Louisville, Kentucky. The paper focuses on Abraham and Simon, who were reformers in the field of medical education in the United States. The dialogue takes Abraham Flexner through his undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University, his founding of a school that specialized in educating wealthy (but underachieving) boys, and his marriage to Anne Laziere Crawford. Abraham and his colleague, Henry S. Pritchett, traveled around the country assessing 155 medical schools in hopes of professionalizing medical education. The travels culminated in a report on "Medical Education in the United States and Canada" (1910). Abraham capped his career by creating the first significant "think tank," the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. The paper also profiles Simon Flexner, a pharmacist whose dream was to become a pathologist. Simon, too, gravitated to Johns Hopkins University where he became chief pathologist and wrote over 200 pathology and bacteriology reports between 1890-1909. He also helped organize the Peking Union Medical College in Peking, China, and was appointed Eastman Professor at Oxford University.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Abraham Flexner and His Views on Learning in Higher Education
    Iwabuchi Sachiko(p139)6/2 04.9.6 3:13 PM ページ 139 The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 15 (2004) The Pursuit of Excellence: Abraham Flexner and His Views on Learning in Higher Education Sachiko IWABUCHI* INTRODUCTION Abraham Flexner, one of the most influential educational critics in early twentieth-century America, faithfully believed in excellence. Ex- cellence epitomized his views on education. “Throughout my life,” Flexner wrote in his autobiography, “I have pursued excellence.”1 For Flexner, excellence meant more than surpassing skills, eminence, and dignity; excellence meant intellectual rather than mere mental training. It also connoted honor and spirituality rather than mercantilism and materialism. For Flexner an aristocracy of excellence is “the truest form of democracy.”2 The topic of excellence has become conspicuous in the discussions of university reform in Japan. The Twenty-First Century Centers of Ex- cellence (COE) Program was established based on the Ministry of Edu- cation, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s report “A Policy for the Structural Reform of National Universities,” under which a new funding mechanism has been implemented to subsidize the formation of research bases.3 Although the goal of the COEs is to promote excellent research results, some scholars have argued that the proposed program could drive researchers to commercially successful projects in order to Copyright © 2004 Sachiko Iwabuchi.

  • The Rockefeller University Story
    CASPARY AUDITORIUM AND FOUNTAINS THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY STORY THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY STORY JOHN KOBLER THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY PRESS· 1970 COPYRIGHT© 1970 BY THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY PRESS LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOGUE CARD NO. 76-123050 STANDARD BOOK NO. 8740-015-9 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION The first fifty years of The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research have been recorded in depth and with keen insight by the medical his­ torian, George W. Corner. His story ends in 1953-a major turning point. That year, the Institute, which from its inception had been deeply in­ volved in post-doctoral education and research, became a graduate uni­ versity, offering the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to a small number of exceptional pre-doctoral students. Since 1953, The Rockefeller University's research and education pro­ grams have widened. Its achievements would fill a volume at least equal in size to Dr. Corner's history. Pending such a sequel, John Kobler, a journalist and biographer, has written a brief account intended to acquaint the general public with the recent history of The Rockefeller University. Today, as in the beginning, it is an Institution committed to excellence in research, education, and service to human kind.
