Flexner Report!

For any future American physician, or anyone with an understanding of American medical education, I am afraid that this report has not been heard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Flexner is not a physician or a professor in medical school.

In fact, Flexner is an educational theorist who was once the principal of a middle school and is now the president of Princeton University. He was selected by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education to complete a survey of medical schools across the United States because he regularly publishes educational research on American universities. Perhaps historically, whether it was the Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Education or Abraham? Flexner himself probably could not have predicted the impact of this report!

A report that changed medical education throughout the United States!

From this report, Americans began to review all medical schools, resolutely weeding out those that could not meet basic standards; Beginning with this report, Americans instituted a strict admissions system that required at least a high school graduation and at least two years of basic science study; Starting with this report, Americans are required to have at least four years of medical education; It was also from this report that the School of Medicine began to hire full-time clinical faculty......

From this report, medical education in the United States embarked on the path of standardization.

It took Americans nearly two decades to turn the report's recommendations into reality, putting American education on the path to strength. Then after the end of the Second World War, with a large number of German medical scientists and abundant funds, they slowly climbed to the pinnacle of world medicine and replaced the position of the Germans!

It can be said that the importance of this report cannot be overstated.

On this day in 1906, John never imagined that the vice president of the American Medical Association would come to New York, come to the Huntelaar Medical School, and make a request to him - he would complete the report that will go down in history. And the implication is that the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education, which funded the investigation, insists on it......

With a simple thought, John understood.

Without him and the existence of the Huntelaar School of Medicine, it is only natural that the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education would have given this task to Abraham, as it has historically been? Flexner, but nowadays, both professionally and prestigiously, the Huntelaar School of Medicine is in full swing! And compared to Flexner, John, who single-handedly founded the Huntelaar Medical College and General Hospital, and brought them to the top of the United States and even the world. Huntelaar is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

And let's not forget, John's identity is also very special.

The good personal relationship with Carnegie and the fact that his net worth is definitely not inferior to that of the other party ensure that John will stand on an absolutely impartial position during this investigation. And compared to Abraham? Flexner, John in John's School? Dewey's fame is even better!

"Okay, I see."

After thinking about this, John quickly nodded and smiled: "Personally, I am very willing to contribute to medical education in the United States......"

Unable to help but shudder, John continued: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hunt, and please convey it on your behalf, I will be happy to undertake this important work, and will do it in a fair and objective manner......"

……

"Looks like you're still interested in this!"

Asking the secretary to send the grateful Hunter to the hotel to rest, Osler looked at John with a smile and said, "I thought you would refuse their request this time like you refused to join the American Medical Association before." ”

"Hehe, of course I won't refuse this kind of thing."

Shrugging his shoulders, John also smiled and said, "In fact, I will not only send competent people to conduct the investigation, but if the Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Education does not provide sufficient funding, I will personally contribute a sum of money to complete the investigation as well as possible!" ”

Of course, John couldn't let go of such a good opportunity!

Obviously, this is a great time to build up your reputation, and at the same time to promote your ideas across the United States. And, like John's many advanced inventions, the presentation of this report will greatly enhance the power of the American, and bring him many advantages in prestige and connections, which will be of great benefit to future plans......

Of course, Osler also understood the stakes, and smiled with a raised eyebrow: "Okay, let's not continue to discuss this matter...... John, let's talk a little bit about my retirement. ”

"Uh......"

Hearing Professor Osler say this, John immediately had a headache.

Osler, who was born in 1849, is 57 years old this year. For people in this era, this is definitely the age of old age. And since last year, since Osler returned from a trip to Europe, the old man has been talking to John about retirement, he hopes that he will retire before the age of 60 and return to live in England.

John knew, of course, that Osler had received an offer to be an appointed professor at the University of Oxford.

This is a great honor for any Englishman, and Osler has a wife who wants to go back to England to live. So from the end of last year, Osler talked to John about it. As time passed, it seemed clear that Osler wanted to step down as dean of the medical school before he was sixty years old, so that John could prepare in advance!

To be honest, this incident was a huge headache for John.

Founded from Huntelaar Medical College...... No, it should be said that it was the beginning of the preparation, and Osler was the real person in charge. John is in charge of guiding the way, providing financial support, and helping when necessary, but it is always the old man in front of him who really controls the entire college - Osler has really done his best for the Huntelaar Medical School all these years!

For more than ten years, Osler has devoted himself entirely to the school.

So when Huntelaar proposed to retire, John's first reaction was to refuse, because he couldn't imagine what it would be like for Huntelaar Medical College to lose Osler. For Huntelaar Medical School, Osler is like a soul!

But......

Looking at Osler's aged face at this time, and the idea of timed retirement thrown out by his last speech in history, John finally fell silent.

Compared to when John first met him, Osler was indeed better.

Controlling a medical school is not an easy task, especially when the boss of this medical school is extremely demanding. It only took a little over a decade to take a medical school from a blank slate to the top of the world today, and Osler put in a lot of effort and fatigue.

"Professor."

Sighing secretly, John whispered, "So who do you think is more appropriate to take over your position?" ”

"Huh."

After hearing John's words, Osler's expectant expression finally relaxed.

Asking this question shows that John has agreed.

Of course, he could just resign and leave the United States. But after working for more than ten years, Osler has developed a very deep affection for this school, and at the same time has great respect for John, so naturally he does not want anything bad to happen to both parties.

Now that Mr. Huntelaar has acceded to her request, it means that a new headmaster must be chosen for the school.

Thomas?

Ehrlich?

Kelly?

The names of one person flashed through his mind, but Osler vetoed them all almost immediately. Although these people are all leaders in their respective fields, they are absolutely top figures, not only in the United States, but even internationally, and have a strong influence. But in Osler's view, they weren't fit to be a successor—none of them had the big picture of modern medical education, and they weren't fit to run a top medical school.

After pondering for a long time, Osler finally had a man's name in his mind!

"Harvey!"

After taking a deep breath, Osler turned to John and said, "Harvey? Cushing, an outstanding graduate of our own medical school! I don't think there's anyone better suited for this position......" (To be continued. )
