Abraham Flexner and the Era of Medical Education Reform
The number of medical schools already had begun to decrease, dropping from 160 in 1905 to 133 in 1910.
Gives 160 medical schools in 1905, 133 in 1910 and 85 in the decade after the report. Flexner drew heavily on standards already set by the AMA, the Association of American Medical Colleges and state boards. State licensing boards' refusal to recognize poor schools sealed their fate.
