摘要

Background? Medical students attending schools with policies limiting industry/student interactions report fewer relationships with pharmaceutical representatives.;Objective? To investigate whether associations between students' medical school policies and their more limited industry interaction behaviors persist into residency.;Methods? We randomly sampled 1800 third-year residents who graduated from 120 allopathic US-based medical schools, using the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile. We surveyed them in 2011 to determine self-reported behavior and preferences for brand-name prescriptions, and we calculated the strength of their medical schools' industry interaction policies using the 2008 American Medical Student Association and Institute on Medicine as a Profession databases. We used logistic regression to estimate the association between strength of school policies and residents' behaviors with adjustments for class size, postresidency career plan, and concern about medical school debt.;Results? We achieved a 44% survey response rate (n = 739). Residents who graduated from schools with restrictive policies were no more or less likely to accept industry gifts or industry-sponsored meals, speak with marketing representative about drug products, attend industry-sponsored lectures, or prefer brand-name medications than residents who graduated from schools with less restrictive policies. Residents who correctly answered evidence-based prescription questions were about 30% less likely to have attended industry-sponsored lectures (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.56–0.98).;Conclusions? Any effect that medical school industry interaction policies had on insulating students from pharmaceutical marketing did not persist in the behavior of residents in our sample. This suggests that residency training environments are important in influencing behavior.;What was known and gap Meals, gifts, and other inducements from pharmaceutical industry representatives may affect physician prescribing decisions.;What is new Restrictive policies at the medical school level did not affect residents' likelihood of pharmaceutical industry interaction or prescribing practices.;Limitations A response rate of 44% and potential respondent bias; responses to scenarios may not reflect real-life decision making.;Bottom line Strong, consistent industry interaction policies are needed across the medical education continuum to influence learner understanding of industry practices and their possible biasing effects.;Editor's Note: The online version of this article contains the survey questions and clinical scenarios used in the study.;Introduction Many physicians and trainees report receiving free meals, gifts, or other inducements from the pharmaceutical industry.1,2 To varying degrees, these interactions may create a sense of obligation to use promoted products, reducing evidence-based prescribing, with physicians not always aware of the influence of biased information.3–11 Previous studies12–16 have suggested varying effects on prescribing behavior and attitudes toward the pharmaceutical industry among medical students and residents. Many medical schools have implemented policies for faculty to disclose industry relationships and have banned certain types of interactions (eg, speakers' bureaus). Organizations, such as the Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP) and the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), have conducted systematic evaluations of the strength of academic institutions' industry interaction policies in an effort to improve the regulation of industry interactions, with a particular focus on the effect on medical trainees. Previous studies1,17 have demonstrated that students at medical schools with more restrictive policies were less likely to accept gifts and interact with the pharmaceutical sales representatives than those at schools with less restrictive policies. Since medical schools are the starting points of physicians' prof
