The FDA and Advisory Committee Member "Conflicts of Interest"
My essay on some new legislation making its way through Congress is up at techcentralstation.com. A bill that has passed in the House would prevent the FDA from empaneling scientists and clinicians on advisory committees who have potential financial conflicts of interest.
Since early 2004, I have been a full-time assistant professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. I work primarily in the General Internal Medicine Division at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (a large county medical facility). Currently, I teach medical students, interns and residents in our program and am involved in a number of academic projects.
I have been in private practice with several multispecialty groups and have worked as a hospitalist both for a group and as a solo practitioner before assuming my current position at UCLA.
