Commentary:Summary: Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine provides a fair policy. A few notable policy submissions include: prior approval before commencing consulting relationships, samples are restricted to amounts for instruction, and CME events must comply with ACCME guidelines. A glaring hole in this policy, however, is the weak gift policy which only bans employees from asking from gifts, and does not require disclosure of gifts below $100. Demographics: As an osteopathic medical school, Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine has a variety of community-based hospitals that are officially affiliated with Nova Southeastern University for all core rotations in M3 year. The following are the top 3 hospitals Broward Health, Palmetto General, Largo Medical –Tampa. The submitted policies apply only to Nova Southeastern University COM Medical Center Updates: This institution did not provide any new or additional for the 2012-13 AMSA PharmFree Scorecard.
