Which of the following best describes the overall result of Abraham Flexner’s report?

d. Funding was withdrawn from weak medical schools.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: D
Funding was withdrawn such that scientifically inadequate medical schools closed, not reorganized into the German model. The Flexner report outlined shortcomings of weak schools that were not built on the German model of a scientific base. Physicians now emerged who had been taught the germ theory of disease. The report did not address citizen involvement in medical education or the increased use of folk healers.
