title: Policy recommendations for pharmaceutical representative-resident interactions.
abstract: Based on our review of existing written policies regarding pharmaceutical representative-resident interactions, we believe that residencies should develop more comprehensive policies. We present six topic areas that programs should address in formulating policies: 1) policy tone, 2) traffic control, 3) samples, 4) gifts, 5) screening of educational and promotional materials and events, and 6) honoraria, research funding, and other monetary exchanges.
