[Teaching conflicts of interest with industry as a « role model »]

General practitioners should be trained to teach their student about conflicts of interest with the private sector. Beyond the common issues linked to biomedical research and publications, the daily repercussions of these conflicts of interest on medical practice and prescribing must be recognized, whether it be about medical representatives, gifts, or continuing medical education. Only with a complete understanding of these daily challenges to professional ethics will it be possible to represent an appropriate "role model" for students.
