PharmedOut's 2021 conference will be held June 16-18, 2-6pm EST
Commercial influence on meetings, publications, and education affects what health care providers (including prescribers, pharmacists, psychologists and social workers) believe about both drugs and diseases. Cutting the Cord: Curtailing Commercial Influence on Healthcare will discuss effective strategies for mitigating the damaging effect of industry influence on medical information and public health.
This virtual, three-day event, certified for continuing education credit for physicians, PAs, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and social workers, will bring together internationally recognized experts in medicine, nursing, law, and psychology in a unique interdisciplinary conference aimed at creating and promoting solutions to undue industry influence on medical discourse.
Please note: All press and government employees are able to attend this conference for free. If you are from the media or are a government employee and interested in attending this conference, please email: pharmedout@gmail.com.
