Focus Areas

Transparency and Conflict of Interest in Medical Education Settings

Physicians face many conflicts of interest in daily medical practice. These conflicts of interest may be relating to the pharmaceutical industry, medical device industry, or individuals’ issues of intransparency. 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. 

EMSA is committed to ensuring a high ethical standard in medical education. Therefore we aim to advocate on this topic and ensure proper educational formats to combat conflicts of interest in medical education settings and strive for transparency.
