Let's Start this Quiz

Becoming an American doctor is one of the most daunting odysseys in learning. Students have to endure years of college, medical training, internship, and licensing tests before they can set up shop. Throughout history, reforms have altered doctor training changing from 1800s apprenticeships to today's state-controlled medical training programs. The 1910 Flexner Report revolutionized medical training, and contemporary requirements adapt to new specialties and new technology to this day. Would you be able to keep pace with the demanding system that produces America's physicians? This quiz will put your knowledge of medical training in America to the test.
