Last week, Stanford University announced that it will severely restrict industry financing of doctors’ continuing education at its medical school. The school’s new policy stems from concern about the influence drug companies may have on medical education. Most doctors in the United States must take annual refresher courses that drug makers have long paid for. While the industry says its money is intended solely to keep doctors up to date, critics charge that companies agree to support only classes that promote their products. Stanford will no longer let drug and device companies specify which courses they wish to finance.

The others are the Universities of Massachusetts, Pittsburgh, Colorado, Kansas and California Davis. One institution, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, has banned all industry support for its doctor classes. Last June, the Association of American Medical Colleges recommended that medical schools pool contributions from companies as a means of shielding teachers from commercial influences. The policy comes in the wake of gro ...
