Utilizing relationships with pharmaceutical companies to maximize benefit to you and your clients

Abstract

Ethics influence decisions we make every day. As health professionals, our decisions have consequences that can be far-reaching and are under high scrutiny. As entrepreneurs, it is our responsibility to our employees and our family to run a profitable enterprise. It is important to recognize any potential conflict of interest and manage it appropriately. We often are brought information by employees of pharmaceutical companies that have an inherent conflict of interest when they approach us. It is up to us to utilize this data to the best of our abilities to educate our clients. It is also our responsibility to maximize these relationships to maximize profit for our business and the businesses of our clients.
