She didn't act like I was an inconvenience and was willing to spend time. She also reflected on my visit and determined that due to my previous stay the rx she sent in she wanted to change to something stronger just to make sure I wouldn't land back in the hospital. Thank you for your care Dr. Ritter.

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.
