Stanford Restricts Commercial Support
The Stanford University School of Medicine adopted a
new policy that says it will no longer accept commercial support for
specific activities in continuing medical education. The policy went
into effect September 1.
It’s not a complete ban of commercial support. The school may still
accept grants from pharmaceutical and medical device companies as long
as they are for broad areas, such as medical, pediatric, and surgical
specialties; diagnostic and imaging technologies; or health policy and
disease prevention. If a grant were for something specific, like COPD
for example, that would not be permissible.
Read about the school's
new process for accepting CME funds.
