“Canadian medical schools have some explaining to do.”
A recent study reveals practically non-existent conflict of interest policies at many med schools there.
Northern Ontario School of Medicine takes pride of place, having apparently zero meaningful conflict of interest policies, but the main point is clear: In common with some med schools in the United States, ghostwriting, as well as general corporate influence in the classroom and lab, is rampant up north.

Jack -> If you were like me and one of yours was Texas Tech, well, you’d be a regular. Go Red Raiders! It may be one of the few things we win.

Are you guys joking? Not only am I currently a part-time grad student at UNC (taking — wait for it — distance ed classes), but I grew up in a University of Miami family, with many connections to the football program.
I win!
