There's a provocative debate going on at my alma mater Harvard Med (HMS). A group of students is leading the fight against pharmaceutical influences on HMS teaching faculty. Another group of students says that drug company money is necessary for the vitality of Harvard.
I can say that as a student at HMS in the 90's, I was rather oblivious to the influences that are delineated in a recent NYT article on the topic. The NYT piece is worth a read.
