Commentary: Summary: University of South Alabama - College of Medicine provides a fair set of policy documents, but with many areas left unaddressed. For consulting relationships, employees are required to submit a business plan (no formal contract is required). All financial interests are reported annually. There was no policy for gifts, speaking relationships or samples presented. It is unclear if industry influence is addressed in medical education, as no curricular materials were provided as well as no policy regarding industry funding of scholarships. Demographics: The major training sites for students are University of South Alabama Medical Center and University of South Alabama Children's and Women's Hospital. The submitted policies applies to all faculty and administrative directors employed in the hospital setting. Updates: This institution did not provide any new or additional for the 2012-13 AMSA PharmFree Scorecard. This institution's evaluation was last updated: 2/27/2012 |
