I think certain practices should be banned or severely restricted, and that could happen at the level of medical schools. For example, that's the way to help control what happens when medical students and residents are taught. You could also work with national bodies like the Canadian College of Family Physicians. They routinely accredit continuing medical education programs that are sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. I don't think that should be happening. I think all continuing medical education should be completely independent of the pharmaceutical industry, and those national bodies should never accredit such educational sessions.
