It represents a major educational document, based firmly on educational psychology, learning theory, empirical studies, and careful personal observations of many individual programs. It also recognizes the importance of financing, regulation, and institutional culture on the learning environment, which suffuses its recommendations for reform with cogency and power. Most important, like Abraham Flexner's classic study a century ago, the report recognizes that medical education and practice, at their core, are profoundly moral enterprises.

The basic features outlined by Flexner remain in place today. Yet with the past century's enormous societal changes, the practice of medicine and its scientific, pharmacological, and technological foundations have been transformed. Now medical education in the United States is at a crossroads: those who teach medical students and residents must choose whether to continue in the direction established over a hundred years ago or to take a fundamentally different course, guided by contemporary innovation and new understandings about how people learn. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmerging from an extensive study of physician education by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, \u003ci\u003eEducating Physicians\u003c\/i\u003e calls for a major overhaul of the present approach to preparing doctors for their careers. The text addresses major issues for the future of the field and takes a comprehensive look at the most pressing concerns in physician education today. The key findings of the study recommend four goals for medical education: standardization of learning outcomes and individualization of the learning process; integration of formal knowledge and clinical experience; development of habits of inquiry and innovation; and focus on professional identity formation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike The Carnegie Foundation's revolutionizing Flexner Report of 1910, \u003ci\u003eEducating Physicians\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to change the way administrators and faculty in medical schools and programs prepare their physicians for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE AUTHORS\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMolly Cooke\u003c\/b\u003e codirected the Study of Medical Education at The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
