ABSTRACT
Introduction: Attention to undergraduate medical education on the relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry has been increasing in North America and Europe. There are no reports, however, regarding this relationship in Japanese medical education.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire to investigate formal undergraduate curricula on the relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry.Results: Forty-four of 80 medical schools approved participation in the study, with 16 (36.0%) reporting having a formal curriculum on drug promotion. Many of the themes included in the programs were related to research ethics or conflict of interest in research, with drug promotion covered in only a few programs.Discussion: More discussion and investigation into undergraduate education on the relationship between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry, especially on drug promotion, is warranted.
