Talk:Flexner Report

message: Requesting reference for statement regarding quality of medical education being "invariably high." How then, are so many incompetent doctors produced? The statement is quite subjective and therefore requires a strong reference.Jkhamlin (talk) 16:08, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have a RS reference for the claim that a large proportion of doctors are incompetent? I agree that "invariably" should probably be removed. Verbal chat 16:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  In fact there is a huge lack of references and some of the writing isn't encyclopaedic in style (including the section referred to). Verbal chat 16:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Quality of Medical Education

message: I removed the citation that was applied to the claim that some senior faculty members were fired as a result of the Flexner report.  The citation was an article about a single professor of medicine (John Wishart), and the article only indicates that it was possible (not certain) that he was fired as a indirect effect of the flexner report.  This is far from anything generalizable as a more broad effect of the report, and the possibility of a single professor being fired is hardly notable.  In fact, another portion of the article indicates that the university actually hired more professors as a result of the report.  Here is the citation, if anyone is interested: 
:*
If anyone has any better sources supporting the claim that the flexner report led to firings of professors, please add them.  For now, I have left the statement in the article, and attached to it a "citation needed" template.  Rytyho usa (talk) 02:04, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flexner report led to some firing of senior faculty?  

message: I think this page is missing addressing a key component of the Flexner report - which is why any medical schools or governments took the advice and recommendations of the report seriously. Will do some research and might get back to this if I find anything out. Macstringer (talk) 05:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
