Big Pharma's Influence on Medical Education: A $3 Million Question

Stanford University received a $3 million grant from Pfizer in 2010 to develop unbiased postgraduate courses for doctors. However, the video raises concerns about potential industry influence on medical education. News reports from that era show a pattern of pharmaceutical companies funding medical education programs, sometimes leading to concerns about bias. One expert interviewed in the video states, "If you accept a $3 million dollar grant from Pfizer, do we really think that's not going to have an influence on what students are going to learn?" The issue remains relevant today, highlighting the ongoing need for transparency and ethical considerations in medical education funding.
