April Medical Device Event

Collaborations With Physicians:
Recent Developments and Pending Legislation...How will it Affect Your Business?

Government and public scrutiny of financial relationships between medical device companies (as well as other life sciences companies) and physicians has dramatically increased over the last few years. Are doctors dropping clinical trials or avoiding other collaborations to avoid the public perception of conflicts of interest? How will this impact our industry's ability to innovate and prove its new products are safe and effective? A panel of experts will discuss the rules governing these relationships, new revisions to the AdvaMed Code, recent government enforcement actions and pending legislation.
