Commentary:Boundaries_in_the_Patient_Physician_Relationship.pdf CHM_COI_Policy_-_Final.pdf Curriculum_Units_COI.pdf FACULTY_HANDBOOK_Conflicts_of_Interest.pdf Summary: Michigan State University College of Human Medicine provides a fairly good policy: gifts are prohibited; consulting relationships require approval; direct travel support for attending industry-sponsored events is prohibited. Additional policies provided this year increased their score in the Industry Sales Reps domain from a 1 to a 2. A requirement for time limits and/or contracts for industry-sponsored speaking engagements would be a logical next step forward to improve this policy. Demographics: Students at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine are divided into different campuses. 35% spend time at Grand Rapids Campus: Spectrum Health, St. Mary's Health, 17% at Lansing Campus: Sparrow Health, 17% at Flint Campus: Hurley Health, McLaren Health and Gensys Health, 17% at Kalamazoo Campus: Bronson Health and Borgess Health, 6% at Traverse City Campus: Munson Health, 6% at Upper Peninsula Campus: Marquette Health and 2% at Midland Regional Campus: MidMichigan Health. The policies on faculty behavior apply to all faculty members at all sites. The policies on employee behavior apply in Lansing and “some sites” in Grand Rapids. Updates: This institution supplied additional policies to the 2012-13 AMSA PharmFree Scorecard but it did not change any of the domain scores. Their grade remains a C.
