Abstract
Background: Medical school deans wield considerable influence over research, clinical and educational missions at their institutions. This study investigates conflict of interest (COI) of Canadian medical school deans.
Method: The websites of all 17 Canadian medical schools were searched for any mention of relationships between deans and pharmaceutical or medical device companies.
Results: No COIs were discovered for 11 of the deans. Six had COIs, including participating in research funded by pharmaceutical companies and received consulting and speaker fees.
Discussion: A minority of deans had COIs with healthcare industry companies. Whether deans' COIs affect policies at the medical schools they lead should be the subject of further investigation.
背景：医学院院长对其所在院校的研究、临床和教育任务具有相当大的影响力。本研究调查了加拿大医学院院长的利益冲突（COI）：方法：对加拿大所有 17 所医学院的网站进行了搜索，以查找院长与制药或医疗器械公司之间的关系：结果：11 位院长未发现与制药或医疗器械公司有任何 COI 关系。6位院长有COI，包括参与制药公司资助的研究，以及收取咨询费和演讲费：讨论：少数院长与医疗保健行业公司有利益冲突。院长的 COI 是否会影响其所领导的医学院的政策，应该是进一步调查的主题。
