Commentary: Summary: Though part of the state-wide policy system that provides a model policy at baseline, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine provided policies for most domains which adequately addressed the conflicts that may arise. System-wide policies were very restrictive for outside employment (consulting, speaking), disclosure, oversight, and sanctions. In addition, UCSF provided a more stringent gift ban and more restrictive limits placed on the use of samples. Demographics: On average students spend 40% of their training at UCSF Medical Center , 30% at VA San Francisco Medical Center, and 30% at San Francisco General Hospital. Submitted policies apply to UCSF faculty, residents, and students at all sites. 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: 02/29/2012 |
