Doctors, patients, and public policy makers are increasingly concerned about real and perceived conflicts of interest in medicine arising from pharmaceutical and device industry marketing.
Last year, the American Medical Students Association released the “PharmFree Scorecard,” which graded policies on industry relationships at US medical schools.
AMSA is now working with the Prescription Project, a non-profit advocacy group led by Community Catalyst and funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, to update the Scorecard using robust and transparent criteria.
Look for updated Pharm-Free Scorecard results on this website in the near future.
