UW School of Medicine gets D on conflicts of interest in nationwide scorecard

The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health received a grade of D in the American Medical Student Association’s PharmFree Scorecard released Tuesday.

The scorecard said most U.S. medical schools are failing to address conflicts of interest caused by pharmaceutical industry marketing. Only 21 of 150 medical schools surveyed by the AMSA have strong policies (those graded A or B), according to the scorecard.
