Commentary:The Brody School of Medicine has set forth a set of policies that touch on many of the domains on which it was assessed, but are not likely to significantly reduce the impact of pharmaceutical industry marketing and influence. |

This policy states that gifts must be primarily for patient benefit, or be of minimal value and relate to the recipient's work. |
