The article discusses a study on the desire and acceptance of medical residency program directors in the U.S. regarding the support rendered by the pharmaceutical industry. It surveys 381 internal medicine residency program directors from 2006 to 2007 regarding pharmaceutical industry support to their training programs. Furthermore, it shows that more than half of the residency programs accept industry support, although most program directors did not find the support as desirable.
