Down on the Pharm: Students are exposed to pharmaceutical marketing more often in rural clinics (David Evans MD)

To mitigate the influence of pharmaceutical marketing on learners, academic medical centers (AMCs) have adopted policies to limit student/industry interaction.

The purpose of this study was to compare medical students' exposure to pharmaceutical marketing in off campus rural and urban underserved clinical sites. We surveyed rising second year medical students in underserved clinical sites in five northwestern states to evaluate their exposure to pharmaceutical marketing.
