CWIS: Industry and Expert Relationships Ribcast

In Todays episode we will be discussing industry vs expert relationships and how they are intertwined in the life of CWIS members. Since its inception CWIS and its surgeon members have recognized the importance of industry relationships in developing their professional skills to help our chest wall injured patients. 

A healthy relationship between professional medical societies and industry can promote optimal and excellent health care and for CWIS this remains true.  Collaboration lead to research, innovation, new and/or improved treatments, and expanded educational activities for surgeons treating patients with chest wall injury.  

BUT!, the relationship between all professional medical societies (not just CWIS) and industry will always and should always be scrutinized and understood. Thats our goal for this Ribcast!
