Medical schools have Directors (boards). These boards usually have several members who are employed by pharmaceutical companies in the following way:

The P company says, "Hey, we'd like your input on this new drug so we'd like to employ you for the next 4 years. We'll fly you and your family to Figi twice a year?all expenses paid?to attend a few seminars where we'll have you offer your advice to us for ways we can improve our products. We'll pay you $200,000 per year."

OK, that's the part of the discussion we know about. How do you think the rest of the conversation goes? Perhaps something like this:

"Hey'a, why don't you see what you can do to introduce your students to our new drug in your curriculum? It would be a real benefit to their future patients."

Food for thought.
