American Medical Student Association, 05/07/09
The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), the nation’s oldest and largest, independent association for physicians-in-training, applauds the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, "Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice," for acknowledging how financial ties between medicine and industry "jeopardize the integrity of scientific investigations, the objectivity of medical education, the quality of patient care, and the public’s trust in medicine." AMSA founded the PharmFree Campaign (www.pharmfree.org) in 2002 to guide medical students in organizing to advocate for evidence-based rather than marketing-based prescribing practices, the removal of conflicts of interest and global access to essential medicines. Since then, AMSA has refused pharmaceutical funding and advocated for stricter policies at Academic Medical Centers as well as legislation aimed at requiring public disclosure of medicine’s financial ties to industry.
