Correspondence Between William Gies And Simon Flexner To Guide A 21st Century Dental Curriculum

Some examples include dental dysplasias, cleft lip and [...]

Recently, I uncovered a correspondence between Gies and Dr. Simon Flexner, Director of the Rockefeller University in New York. A comparison of this correspondence with the contents of his final report suggested to me that Dr. Flexner's response altered his thinking and could have [...]
