Summary: Overall, University of Nevada School of Medicine provided a good policy in need of some changes.  Positively, purchasing and formulary committee members with financial conflicts of interest must recuse themselves from all committee decisions involving that pharmaceutical company.  Also, no staff member covered under the policy is exempt from disclosing all pharmaceutical industry affiliations, which will be accessible on a public website, implemented in 2011.  Unfortunately while all gifts are prohibited, all on-site meals are not prohibited.  Moreover, long-term speaking relationships are not prevented in the policy. It is also unclear to what extent submitted policies apply to clinical educators as the policy does not extend to clinical partners.

 Demographics: On average students spend 40% of their training at University Medical Center, 30% at Renown Regional Medical Center, and 30% at Veteran's Administration Hospitals in both Reno and Las Vegas. Submitted policies do not apply to any of these sites only to students and faculty of the university.

Updates: This institution submitted new policies for review for the 2012-3 AMSA PharmFree Scorecard, their grade remains a B.
