She's very thorough and gives great information. I was a little taken aback that she walked in and said nice to see you again but never said how are you. She immediately opened the computer and was reviewing the imaging with another person who was not introduced to me. It was so awkward for me so I finally said, are you a med student? She was a scribe but I had no idea. I think I'm sensitive to all of this because I'm a provider too and I would never not introduce someone else in the room.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
