||
| Gifts |  |
Policy states that faculty may accept gifts of 'nominal value' i.e. pens, calendars, etc. Faculty may not accept gifts that would 'obligate' them. This is vague enough to warrant a 1. [Domain Location: 17a)Page 4 bullet 4-6] |
| Meals | |
Lunches may be provided if 'reasonable in cost and frequency' [Domain Location: 17a) page 4, bullet 7] |
| Industry-funded promotional speaking relationships (not ACCME-accredited) | |
There is a lot of language around COI broadly but nothing specific to speaking engagements [Domain Location: ] |
| Industry-support of ACCME-accredited CME | |
This policy is pretty broad. The ACGME is not mentioned. [Domain Location: ] |
| Attendance of industry-sponsored promotional events | |
Again, you could maybe interpret from broad COI language that industry sponsored events could be covered, but the language is not specific enough to warrant above a 1 [Domain Location: n/a] |
| Industry-supported scholarships and awards | |
There is nothing about industry supported scholarships in the policy [Domain Location: ] |
| Ghostwriting and honorary authorships | |
No policy located [Domain Location: ] |
| Consulting and advising relationships |  |
Policy is clear (pg 8) that a COI would include a faculty member taking part in consulting with an outside entity and that for these interactions, 'approval needs to be secured in advance' (pg 7, paragraph 2). [Domain Location: 17a) pgs. 7-8] |
| Access of pharmaceutical sales representatives | |
No policy located [Domain Location: ] |
| Access of medical device representatives | |
No policy located [Domain Location: ] |
| Conflict of interest disclosure | |
Requires disclosure of COI internally [Domain Location: 17a)Pgs. 9-10, section C] |
| COI curriculum | |
The curriculum is 'Medical jurisprudence', which sounds limited at best with respect to specific influence of the pharmaceutical industry [Domain Location: 17z] |
| Extension of COI policies to community affiliates |  |
The response given in 17z states that the policy applies to all faculty/students regardless of the site. [Domain Location: 17z] |
| Enforcement and Sanctions of Policies | |
The governing body is the 'Office of General Counsel', there are processes detailed for submitting COI, the process of determining a violation, reporting a COI, etc. [Domain Location: 17a) pg 10-11] |

| Model policy |
| Good progress toward model policy |
| No policy, or policy unlikely to have a substantial effect on behavior |
