Abstract:

Rapp should suggest ways in which the Canadian medical profession can become more supportive and internalize the Canadian Medical Association guidelines. The guidelines not only form the basis for an ethical relationship but also make a lot of sense in terms of developing educational programs based on the principles of adult education. Much future CME will arise out of an ethical association between the industry and physicians.
