S.; Hurai, L. P.; Бєляєва, Олена Миколаївна; Білаш, Сергій Михайлович; Лисанець, Юлія Валеріївна; Роженко, Інеса Віталіївна; Таран, Зінаїда Михайлівна; Бугаєнко, Ксенія Сергіївна; Гурай, Людмила ПорфирьевнаEngaging in an interdisciplinary exploration at the crossroads of United States history and medical pedagogy, this study focuses on Abraham Flexner's biography. A thorough analysis unfolds against the backdrop of historical epochs shaping Flexner's impactful contributions. The study highlights the imperative nature of the radical reforms enacted in the early 20th century. Flexner led the way in these transformative actions, which included closing and radically reorganizing institutions that trained future doctors. This initiative was carried out at the request of the American Medical Association for Medical Education, with steadfast support from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. This paper highlights the necessity of these reforms for the "sanitation" and progressive evolution of both medical education and the US healthcare system, despite encountering staunch opposition from the academic and medical communities of the time. Central to the discussion are the criteria put forth by Flexner for evaluating the quality of medical education. Emphasizing crucial aspects like the quality of students, having an educational license, standardized admission procedures, a strong material and technical setup, qualified faculty, and students' access to clinical facilities, the study clarifies the essential role these elements played in Flexner's vision. The research sheds light on the success of Flexner's reforms, attributing a significant portion to his personal qualities and pedagogical education. His ability to dispassionately evaluate medical schools across the USA and Canada showcases the depth of his insights. Despite some critical remarks, the study emphasizes the invaluable contribution Flexner made to the radical transformation of the American medical school, elevating his figure to an almost legendary status.
