Conflicts of Interest and Industry Relationships – General Consultation

Tell us what you think:

We want you to help us refine the newly retitled draft Conflicts of Interest and Industry Relationships policy before it’s finalized.

The draft policy retains the core expectations of the current Physicians’ Relationships with Industry: Practice, Education and Research policy and includes a new section related to conflicts of interest under the Medicine Act, 1991, General regulation. The draft policy has been condensed and streamlined with the aim to enhance its overall readability and utility for physicians.

The draft Conflicts of Interest and Industry Relationships: Advice to the Profession document has been updated to clarify and further explain the draft policy content.
