Guiding principles for interactions between physicians and industry partners have been detailed by many groups, including the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Council for Medical Specialty Societies, and individual institutions and practices. Additionally, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act requires reporting of payments and other transactions to medical professionals for public disclosure.
