Toward improvement of knowledge of financial conflicts of interest in a large medical school in France.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Conflict of interests (COIs) adversely affect the integrity of science and public health. The role of medical schools in the teaching and management of COIs has been highlighted by the publication of an annual evaluation of American medical schools based on their COIs policies by the American Medical Student Association (AMSA). A deontological charter was adopted by French medical schools in 2018 but its impact on COI comprehension by students and its effects on COI prevention were not evaluated.

Methods

A 10-item direct survey was conducted among about 1000 students in Paris-Cité University in order to investigate the respect of the charter regarding COIs both in the medical school and in affiliated teaching hospitals.
