First part consists of history and analysis of medical education in the United States and recommendations for standardization of medical school; the second part analyzes each medical school in the United States. The report resulted in 76 medical schools being closed or merged with other institutions between the years 1910 and 1920. Five of the seven predominantly Black medical schools in the United States were closed as a result of Flexner's racist views and recommendations presented in work.

Sullivan and Ilana Suez Mittman's "The State of Diversity in the Health Professions a Century After Flexner" in Academic medicine, v. 85, issue 2 (2010), pages 246-253.
