AMA’s online educational module

What You Should Know about Gifts to Physicians from Industry

Physicians everywhere have given an overwhelmingly positive response to the AMA’s online educational modules, What You Should
Know about Gifts to Physicians from Industry.

The modules explore the complex relationship between physicians and pharmaceutical industry, in light of the guidelines developed by the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA). Now, after a successful first year, the self-study modules feature a convenient print-your-own CME certificate for those who read the modules and complete a simple evaluation.

Four educational modules are available, in both self-study and a downloadable PowerPoint format. They are:

Module 1 – Overview of Ethical, Professional and Legal Issues for Physicians’               
                     Relationships with Industry
Module 2 – Physicians Expectations of Industry and Sales Personnel
Module 3 – Professionalism and Gifts to Physicians from Industry
Module 4 – Ethical Guidelines on Gifts to Physicians from Industry
