PharmedOut is pleased to announce a conference. "Prescription for Conflict: Should Industry Fund Continuing Medical Education?" will be held on Friday, June 25, 2010, on the Georgetown campus in Washington DC.
We intend to address the questions: Does drug industry funding of CME adversely affect the educational content of CME? If so, can commercial bias be assessed and mitigated?
Speakers will include:
Joel Lexchin M.D., University of Toronto
Dan Carlat M.D., Tufts Medical School; Editor, Carlat Psychiatry Report
Carl Elliott M.D. Ph.D., Center for Bioethics, University of Minnesota School of Medicine
Edmund Pellegrino M.D., Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetwon University Medical Center
The conference is open to the public. We plan to offer continuing education credits to physicians and nurses.
