The pharmaceutical industry and academic medicine: opportunities for physician collaboration.
Circulation 1985 Aug; 72:(2):

Abstract:

This article descibes the various roles of physicians in the pharmaceutical industry including interactions with marketing colleagues to ensure that a given product is presented to practicing physicians in an appropriate manner, consistent with its labeling. It discusses the nature of academia-pharmaceutical interactions in areas of clinical research, consultation and medical education. The ability to establish lasting confidence between industrial and academic physicians will be crucial to their capacity to continue to serve as constructive contributors to the national health care complex.
