Dr. Ferreira made me feel at ease immediately. She stated that she was happy to see me and it had been 11 years since my last colonoscopy and we both joked about how much gray hair we both had since the last time we saw each other. It’s the little things along with attention to detail that makes me comfortable. You wouldn’t believe the number of doctors that don’t read your file until you walk into their office and sometimes not at all.

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.

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.
