ABSTRACT
Medical education in the 20th century has been vastly influenced by the Carnegie Foundation Flexner Report. The basic tenets of the modern four-year medical curriculum and the dominant role of the associated university teaching hospital were cemented into place and have remained the paradigm of the present-day medical educational process. The Flexner Report contributed importantly to the development of the modern health-care system. Despite enormous success, a number of current problems have been identified in today's medical educational curricula and have catalyzed the generation of a new Carnegie Foundation report that emphasizes the building of strong bridges across the artificial divide that separates the basic science and clinical years and lays the foundation for the growth and development of translational medicine. In addition, the report raises crucial issues regarding a national medical workforce policy.
