Pharmaceutical companies and academic departments of psychiatry : a call for ethics education.
Pharmaceutical companies contribute over $13,000 per physician for promotion and advertisement of products. Psychiatrists and psychiatric residents are influenced by these interactions. Two recommendations to psychiatric residency training programs are offered: Incorporation of ethics education into teaching forums and the establishment of specific ground rules that would govern the interaction of pharmaceutical companies with psychiatric residents.
