The pharmaceutical industry: a valuable CME resource
Canadian Journal of CME 1992; 4:(8):1-2

Abstract:

The role of the pharmaceutical industry in continuing medical education is increasing. Guidelines from the Canadian Medical Association and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Canada have lead to a healthy trend in the quality and content of CME activities funded by industry. Academic departments of CME would not be able to function as efficiently as they do if it were not for industry support. Due credit should be given to the industry for the role that it plays.
