Commentary:

East Tennessee State University - James H. Quillen College of Medicine has a strong gift ban.  Its other policies tend to be more moderate, though comprehensive. One noteworthy absence is the lack of any requirement for individuals to disclose all financial relationships and potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, there are no established methods for oversight or sanctions for noncompliance.

This institution submitted no new policies to the 2010 AMSA PharmFree Scorecard. Their grade remains a B.

This institution has not consented to allow their policy to be publicly posted or quoted for illustrative purposes.
