Perception vs. Reality of Industry Support

Author: Sean McCarthy

Last month we were discussing the changes to educational programs, something those of us in sales have long seen as a “safe harbor.” To learn the latest, review the recent White Paper (PDF) issued by the American Board of Medical Specialties which includes their discussion on commercial funding of medical education.  Thanks to our friends at Policy & Medicine for bringing this to my attention.

This is a discussion of CME programs, their future and where the line in the industry-physician support needs to be drawn. Please take a moment to review the document, and provide feedback to the ABMS committee before March 1.
