Pharma Phacts was set up in March 2009 by a group of medical students from 19 Australian universities. The official launch was at the Global Health Conference '09 in July. The aim of the campaign is to provide medical students with evidence and resources on the effects of pharmaceutical advertising on medical students and doctors.

What these howls of outrage and hurt amount to is that the medical profession is distressed to find its high opinion of itself not shared by writers of [prescription] drug advertising. It would be a great step forward if doctors stopped bemoaning this attack on their professional maturity and began recognizing how thoroughly justified it is.
