WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GIFTS TO PHYSICIANS FROM INDUSRTY

Gift giving from the pharmaceutical, device and medical equipment industries to physicians has long been a customary practice. But when gift giving is not practiced within established ethical boundaries, the perception of conflict of interest is raised. All physicians and physicians in training should adhere to the AMA Code of Medical Ethics, Opinion 8.061, “Gifts to Physicians from Industry” which can be found under the AMA Code of Medical Ethics at www.ama-assn.org/go/ethicalgifts.

Johns Hopkins faculty, staff, employees, students, and trainees must adhere to the more restrictive Johns Hopkins Medicine Policy on Interaction with Industry that can be found on HopkinsMedicine.org by clicking Research > For Our Researchers > Research Affairs Offices > Office of Policy Coordination > Policy on Interaction with Industry or directly through this link http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Research/OPC/Policy_Industry_Interaction.
