		<description>It's not just CME. So-called medical practice guidelines are also hopelessly corrupted.</description>

		<description>Transparency is always a good thing, especially in the health care industry. I'm sure big pharma will fight back with a vengeance.</description>

		<description>Full disclosure.....

Let's hope we are approaching the time when we can see less activity aimed at "jockeying" for market share, which this activity clearly is.  Let's face it, when Pharma puts money into anything they expect a return, they have to it is the business, if they don't their share holders will cry foul!  Nothing wrong with that.  But it isn't fair, because the majority of patients, current patients, potential patients etc, do not realize that this is a "for profit" industry.  The lines get blurry because although most know that the drugs are regulated through the FDA, they do not realize how the entire system has been so corrupted to squeeze profits and market share points out of the system.  Then astonishingly, those who corrupted the system, point to the "corrupted" system and say "see I told you so, Government can't be trusted".  To me this is the bigger terrorist threat facing us right now.

We need to fix these things and we need to be transparent.  There will still be lots of money to be made and jobs in the system for all of us.

There have been just too many "scandals".  It is absolutely important to each and everyone one of us that integrity be restored to the system.  We have much important work ahead of us.</description>

		<description>So &lt;a href="http://www.wileyrein.com/professionals.cfm?sp=bio&#38;id=107" rel="nofollow"&gt;John Kamp's bio&lt;/a&gt; says that his practice areas are the FDA as well as advertising.  I guess the confluence of those two areas is continuing medical education?</description>
