N Engl J Med 1990 Jul 19; 323:(3):200-1
Abstract:
The author wonders if Jenike gave the talk at the symposium after he found out that all of the attendees were being sponsored by the drug company in question. The author would advocate a complete proscription of financial support by drug companies of any continuing medical education symposium or its attendees.
