In their Sept. 7, 2010 editorial, Hébert and colleagues touch on a critical subject: the complicated relationship between industry and medical education. 1 The authors rightly point out that in many medical schools, "future generations of students are [being] taught by some expert faculty who receive funds from the pharmaceutical industry." They go on to say that "it is time for medical faculties and academic physicians to stop burying their heads in the sand."
