Introduction
Faculty and staff at University of Iowa Health Care have increasing opportunities to engage in professional activities with industry and other outside entities.
Such activities may improve patient care through the development of new products; strengthen knowledge and skills; and contribute to the growth and development of expertise. Yet care must be taken to ensure that relationships between UI Health Care employees and outside entities are free from any actual or perceived conflicts of interest.
To reinforce our commitment to upholding the highest possible ethical standards and to foster greater transparency, University of Iowa Health Care implemented a Conflict of Interest/Conflict of Commitment policy on July 1, 2009. A revised version of the policy is effective on July 1, 2010.
A summary of changes lists the major changes to the revised policy.
Disclosures of external relationships made by UI Health Care faculty and staff members are publicly accessible.
If you have questions about the policy, please contact the Conflict of Interest Office at 319-384-5252 or coi@healthcare.uiowa.edu
