Commentary:Baylor College of Medicine has several excellent policies, especially in the domains regarding consulting arrangements, formulary committees and travel to off-site events. The rest of the policies are solid, with the exception of curriculum, which is not covered in this policy. A full gift ban would also be logical, as educational gifts in particular, accustom students to be comfortable with accepting gifts routinely from industry.
Updates: This institution did not submit any new or additional policies for the 2012-13 AMSA PharmFree Scorecard. This institution's evaluation was last updated: 12/05/2010 This institution has not consented to allow their policy to be publicly posted or quoted for illustrative purposes. |
