Teaching Trainees to Negotiate Research Collaborations With Industry: A Mentorship Model

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Research collaborations with the pharmaceutical industry can offer valuable opportunities for academic psychiatrists to gain access to important resources. Such relationships, however, often produce significant conflicts of interest, and recent attention has focused on the ways in which these conflicts can compromise research integrity. Psychiatric residents generally receive little education about industry-academia interactions. The authors report their experience collaborating on a research project with representatives of a pharmaceutical company, and they propose a model for teaching psychiatric trainees responsible and productive engagement with industry investigators.
