The Second Flexnerian Report: Implications, Applications and Expectations

Not in the century since Flexner's epic report that reformed medical education, has there been such change in the training of physicians. The Carnegie Foundation again commissioned a blueprint to improve the education of physicians for our times holding a promise to reshape the future for decades to come. It has the promise to also impact medical education for decades to come. To paraphrase the four main findings of the report, the I's have it: 1) individualize the path to standardized learning outcomes; 2) integrate and collaborate in learning; 3) inquiry and improvements should become habits; and 4) identity formation of the physician as a professional should be strengthened. We are privileged to have authors of this report and leaders in medical education present their thoughts on the opportunities and challenges facing changes in contemporary medical education.
