abstract = {100 years ago, a series of studies about the education of
health professionals, led by the 1910 Flexner report,
sparked groundbreaking reforms. Through integration
of modern science into the curricula at university-based
schools, the reforms equipped health professionals with
the knowledge that contributed to the doubling of life
span during the 20th century.
By the beginning of the 21st century, however, all is not
well. Glaring gaps and inequities in health persist both
within and between countries, underscoring our
collective failure to share the dramatic health advances
equitably. At the same time, fresh health challenges loom.
New infectious, environmental, and behavioural risks, at
a time of rapid demographic and epidemiological
transitions, threaten health security of all. Health systems
worldwide are struggling to keep up, as they become
more complex and costly, placing additional demands on
health workers.},
