The strongest part of their policy regards medical student education and scholarships. The institution maintains control over all scholarship recipients and also provides excellent curricular materials to teach students on COI. There is a minimal disclosure policy in place and an unclear management on conflicts of interest when present in P&T members. Samples are currently allowed. Oversight and enforcement are in place. Demographics: On average students spend 35% of their training at Detroit Medical Center, 28% at Henry Ford Hospital, and 15% at Oakwood Hospital. Submitted policies include the medical school policy and the policies for the three hospitals with the largest number of WSU SOM students rotating there. 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: 2/24/2012. |
