Closed statements requesting the degree of change to each section of the \"Standards\" based on ECCE evaluation reports (substantial, some, none) were analyzed using frequencies.

During the early 1900s, the AMA established itself as \"regular medicine.\" They labeled other types of medicine and health care professions, such as chiropractic, as \"irregulars\" claiming that they were cultists and quacks. In addition to the rise in power of the AMA, a report written by Abraham Flexner helped to solidify the AMA's control over health care. Chiropractic as a profession was emerging and developing in practice, education, and science.
