Abstract

The medical profession and pharmaceutical industry constitute essential components of modern medical care. Although they have fundamental differences in goals and ethical standards, the interests of the two groups overlap in significant areas and their collaboration benefits all concerned. The ethical dangers inherent in this mixing of different systems can be managed only by careful attention to the independence of clinical and educational decision making. Medical educators hold a critical position in this process. Reasonable policies, clarity or roles, transparency of financial arrangements, and rigorous self-examination are essential elements for successful teaching and maintenance of the integrity of medical education.
