The Harvard Mea Culpa: Biederman, Wilens and Spencer , "Dear Colleagues"

VIA The Harvard Crimson.

Three Professors Face Sanctions Following Harvard Medical School Inquiry

Investigation by Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital punishes psychiatrists accused by senator



"The conclusion of the two institutions’ investigation is the latest development in a three-year saga that brought intense scrutiny on the Medical School, as well as ties between academia and industry. Following Grassley’s investigation, legislation was proposed both in the State House and in Congress that would increase disclosure requirements for industry-sponosored gifts.

After Grassley issued his report, the Medical School said that it would be reviewing the doctors’ cases as well as reexamining its current regulations and improving implementation.

At Harvard, a review established the first University-wide set of guidelines pertaining to conflict of interest policies last summer. As of this past January, new conflict of interest guidelines at the Harvard Medical School include changes such as a prohibition on faculty from accepting personal gifts and tighter limits on faculty compensation from outside companies.

Go to the link and click 'Agenda', 'Faculty' and 'CME Information' for details.

This is incredible to me, that these doctors are still able to push this agenda after stats such as Biederman's 4000% increase in Childhood Bipolar influence, Wagner's co-authorship of the scandalous PAXIL 329 study, the Harvard Sanction of Biederman, Spencer and Wilens... and the CME is pharmacology for kids and teens.

Just when you think the KOL influence is gone, think again$$$$$
