Industry Relations Action Committee
One area our chapter is currently focused on is the PharmFree Campaign. What does it mean to be "PharmFree"? A brief introduction is below:
"Vision: AMSA envisions a day when pharmaceutical companies are able to dedicate their resources to creating drugs that physicians choose to use because they are effective in treating disease, not because they are effectively marketed. We envision a day when every medical student and physician is aware of the professional, ethical and practical complications of the current relationship with pharmaceutical company representatives. We envision a day when physicians demand integrity, honesty, and education (not biased information) from members of their profession, for the sake of our patients and their trust in us. "
Upcoming Event: AMSA National PharmFree Week
We are starting to organize events for the week and are looking
for 1st year representatives. No experience is needed but interest in the
above “vision” is a must. If you're interested, email keckamsa@gmail.com
for an application.
