Physicians’ Relationships with Industry: Practice, Education and Research – Preliminary Consultation

Tell us what you think:

We want you to help us update our current Physicians’ Relationships with Industry: Practice, Education and Research policy.

This policy sets out expectations for physicians in their interactions with commercial enterprises associated with health care (i.e., “industry”).

An Advice to the Profession document also accompanies the policy, providing general advice on specific practice issues.

Have your say:

We want to hear your thoughts on the current policy. For example, we’re interested to know:

• Does the current policy provide useful guidance to physicians?
• Are the expectations set out in the current policy clear and reasonable?
• Are there issues not addressed in the current policy that should be?

Or feel free to answer the additional questions we have in our online survey regarding the current policy content (click here to download the PDF list of questions).

Please provide your feedback by March 23, 2022.

Next Steps:

Your feedback is important to us. Your comments will be carefully reviewed and used to help us evaluate the current policy. CPSO Council will ultimately determine what policy revisions will be made when finalizing and approving the policy.
