PharmedOut

PharmedOut is a unique project based at the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) that advances evidence-based prescribing and educates healthcare professionals about pharmaceutical industry marketing practices.

PharmedOut is led by a team of academic physicians, and our volunteer network includes nurses, pharmacists, industry insiders, students and others.

Mission:
PharmedOut’s mission is to investigate the influence of pharmaceutical industry marketing on the practice of medicine; foster access to unbiased information on drugs; and create and promote pharma-free continuing medical education to providers.

Vision:
PharmedOut’s vision is a nation in which there exists a strong firewall between the commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry and the objectivity of medical literature, medical training, therapeutic decisions, and prescribing.
