National PharmFree Week
November 14-18, 2011
This programming was made possible by a grant from the state Attorney General Consumer and Prescriber Education Grant Program which is funded by the multi-state settlement of consumer fraud claims regarding the marketing of the prescription drug Neurontin.
Presented by: AMSA’s PharmFree Campaign
National PharmFree Week (NPFW) is an annual event to highlight the importance of putting patients first by addressing conflicts of interest and encouraging evidence rather than marketing-based education. NPFW aims to focus the attention of medical, premedical, and allied health students on the importance of understanding the impact and control of financial and professional conflicts of interest in education, research, and patient care. AMSA has put together a wide variety of student and institutional projects for education and policy change which you can learn more about below or by visiting www.pharmfree.org.
