| Popis: | This Health in Action provides recommendations for improving education for health professionals about pharmaceutical and device promotion, which includes any activity that can increase sales of pharmaceuticals or devices. The recommendations were produced by an iterative E-mail discussion among representatives of four organizations: the American Medical Student Association, Healthy Skepticism Inc., No Free Lunch, and PharmAware (Box 1). Box 1. The Four Organizations Calling for Action American Medical Student Association (http://www.amsa.org) An association of nearly 60,000 doctors-in-training with aims including: improving health care and healthcare delivery to all people and promoting active improvement in medical education. Healthy Skepticism Inc. (http://www.healthyskepticism.org) An international organization aiming to improve health by reducing harm from misleading pharmaceutical promotion. No Free Lunch (http://www.nofreelunch.org, http://www.nofreelunch.uk, http://www.nograziepagoio.it) An international network aiming to improve patient care by encouraging health care providers to practice medicine on the basis of scientific evidence rather than on the basis of pharmaceutical promotion. PharmAware (http://www.pharmaware.co.uk) A group of British medical students who aim to change doctors' relationships with the pharmaceutical industry. We hope these recommendations will inform, stimulate, and support educators of health professionals to develop improved education about pharmaceutical and device promotion. We will survey educators to seek their views on these recommendations. |
