Abstract:
Support from industry has become an important factor in the growth of the dermatologic profession. However, the relationship creates inevitable conflicts of interest. This article explores these potential conflicts, including (1) giving and receiving of gifts, (2) conduct of clinical trials, (3) appearance of advertisements in professional journals, (4) continuing medical education programs and educational grants to societies and departments, and (5) drug sampling.
