EDUCATE YOURSELF
Vision: AMSA envisions a day when pharmaceutical companies are able to dedicate their resources to creating drugs that physicians choose to use because they are effective in treating disease, not because they are effectively marketed. We envision a day when every medical student and physician is aware of the professional, ethical and practical complications of the current relationship with pharmaceutical company representatives. We envision a day when physicians demand integrity, honesty, and education (not biased information) from members of their profession, for the sake of our patients and their trust in us.
Mission: Our mission in 2006 is to encourage medical schools and academic medical centers to develop policies that limit the access of pharmaceutical company representatives to their campuses and prohibits medical students and physicians from accepting gifts of any kind from these representatives.
