The report of the Commission on the Education of Health Professionals for the 21st Century, an independent initiative of 20 leaders from around the world, addresses the evolving demands of health systems in an interdependent world. It articulates a fresh vision and recommends renewed actions, with a focus on institutional and instructional reforms.
One hundred years ago a series of seminal documents, starting with the Flexner Report of 1910, sparked an enormous burst of energy to harness the power of science to transform higher education in health. Professional education, however, has not been able to keep pace with the challenges of the 21st century. A new generation of reforms is needed to meet the demands of health systems in an interdependent world.
