As the Health Policy and Medical Education pillars, we are happy to announce the Small Working Group on Transparency and Conflict of Interest in Medical Education!

Physicians face many conflicts of interests in daily medical practice. When these conflicts of interest are not declared in a medical education setting, medical students can unknowingly become influenced in their independent decision making process.

In this joint small working group, we want to create a guideline on Transparency and Conflict of Interest in Medical Education and take the initiative through high-level advocacy on the topic! Our goal is to raise awareness among European medical students and advocate for the topic of conflicts of interest and transparency of collaborations in healthcare, especially in medical education.
