Why Do We Do It?
• Contacts with industry are unavoidable
• Physician Desk Reference
• Prescription of proprietary drugs
• Sponsorship of professional meetings
• Advertisements in professional journals
• Response to academic activity
![Page 27: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why Do We Do It?
Contacts with industry are desirable
• Sponsorship of educational programs
• Sponsorship of professional organizations
• Sponsorship of research
• Notification of product availability
• Exposure to proprietary information
• Academic input into research and marketing
![Page 28: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
But...
Industry’s priorities differ from those of clinical and academic medicine
Is it possible to benefit from industry contacts without compromising the integrity of clinical and academic medicine?

• An industry representative invites you and a guest
• to dinner and a lecture at an upscale restaurant at
• The Mall. Following dinner, you also receive a gift certificate for shopping at The Mall.
• Should you accept this offer?
![Page 40: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Non-Maleficence and Beneficence
• When developing new products, industry is required to demonstrate that a new product:
• is safe
• provides a benefit to patients
![Page 41: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Respect for Autonomy
• Protection from Intrusion into the Physician-Patient Relationship
• MD influenced to prescribe certain product
• Patient should know of any relationship between MD and company whose product is being recommended
![Page 42: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Distributive Justice
• Fair or just distribution of rights and responsibilities, such as:
• to each an equal share
• to each according to need
• to each according to merit
![Page 43: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Fiduciary Relationships
• “Fiduciary” is often used to describe the patient-physician relationship because:
A) patients place their trust and well-being in the hands of physicians
B) physicians are responsible for the welfare of patients
C) physicians respond to patients’ actual (vs. perceived)needs
D) physicians are responsible for controlling patient/third party
payer expenses for medications and other medical services
![Page 44: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Physicians and Conflicts of Interest
• Because of the fiduciary nature of the patient/physician relationship, it is generally expected that physicians should avoid conflicts of interest that may undermine patient care.
• For actual or perceived conflicts that cannot be avoided, disclosure may function as the primary mechanism to reduce the effect of the conflict.

unaffected

What do patients think?

• How do you account for the discrepancy ?
• Cognitive Dissonance
![Page 52: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Festinger’s Theory of Cognitive Dissonance
• When Prophecy Fails 1957
• Festinger, Riecken, & Schacter
![Page 53: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Cognitive Dissonance
• Subjects are paid varying amounts of money (e.g. $1 or $100) for writing essays expressing opinions contrary to their own
• Those in the $1 group rated them more positively than those in the $100 group
• Less external justification and forced to internalize the attitude they initially opposed
![Page 54: An Ethical Framework for Clinician/Industry Interactions Mansoor Malik MD Howard University Hospital.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649e3b5503460f94b2d5aa/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Final Thoughts
• “You are in this profession as a calling, not as a business; as a calling which exacts from you at every turn self-sacrifice, devotion, love, and tenderness to your fellow-men. Once you get down to the purely business level, your influence is gone and the true light of your life is dimmed. You must work in the missionary spirit, with a breadth of charity that raises you far above the petty jealousies of life.
-Sir William Osler
