CMAJ. 1994 Jan 15;150(2):256A-256F.
The history of health care delivery in Canada has been marked by close collaboration between physicians and the pharmaceutical and health supply industries, this collaboration extending to research as well as to education. Since medicine is a self-governing profession physicians have a responsibility to ensure that their participation in such collaborative efforts is in keeping with their duties toward their patients and society. The following guidelines have been developed by the CMA to assist physicians in determining when a relationship with industry is appropriate. Although directed primarily to individual physicians, including residents and interns as well as medical students, the guidelines also govern the relationships between industry and medical associations. These guidelines focus on the pharmaceutical companies; however, the CMA considers that the same principles apply to the relationship between its members and manufacturers of medical devices, infant formulas and similar products, and health care products and service suppliers in general. These guidelines reflect a national consensus and are meant to serve as an educational resource for physicians throughout Canada.
加拿大医疗服务的历史一直以医生与制药及医疗用品行业的密切合作为特点，这种合作延伸至研究和教育领域。由于医学是一个自治的专业，医生有责任确保他们参与此类合作努力符合他们对患者和社会的职责。加拿大医学协会制定了以下指南，以协助医生确定何时与行业建立的关系是合适的。尽管这些指南主要针对个体医生，包括住院医生、实习医生以及医学生，但它们也适用于行业与医学协会之间的关系。这些指南主要关注制药公司；然而，加拿大医学协会认为相同的原则适用于其成员与医疗设备制造商、婴儿配方奶粉及类似产品制造商以及一般医疗保健产品和服务供应商之间的关系。这些指南反映了全国共识，旨在作为加拿大各地医生的教育资源。
