Sunday, June 13th, 2010Guidances Put Docs and Pharma at Arms Length
Sunday, January 10th, 2010Several days ago, you might have noticed my tweet on New Jersey’s potential new guidance on interactions between physicians and pharma. If not here’s the link to the original article at the American Medical Associaton site http://bit.ly/6i9b18
The trend toward tightening guidelines for healthcare provider medical education supported by pharma is strong and continuing so far in 2010. This trend continues to make the environment for profit companies challenging. Combined with the challenging economy, some companies are following last year’s trend of exiting the field.
The guidances are clearer for promotional interactions making this a continued area for potential growth.
Article Links Fixed
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009It just came to my attention that some of the article links on the News section of the main Hughes BioPharma web site weren’t working. They are now fixed so if you wanted to read them earlier and couldn’t please click back to the news page.
You can get to the home page by navigating to www.hughesbiopharma.com or by clicking on the link under Blog Roll on the right hand side of the page.
Thank you for viewing the site 
FDA: Is it Margaret Hamburg?
Friday, March 13th, 2009Our poll has been updated to add Margaret Hamburg the current front runner for the FDA commissioner position. Will there be a vetting glitch or will it be smooth sailing?
The New York Times has declared Dr. Hamburg as the winner with Joshua Sharfstein as Deputy Commissioner. This finally gives the FDA a succession plan and may avoid some of the ups and downs that has lead to problems in the past.
The clock is ticking to give your input on our poll!
