Teaching Pharmacology and Therapeutics - correction(15)
*********** 

Please note the addition of "No" before "free lunch culture" in the last line of the message below which was sent out yesterday.


There is no doubt that some pharmacologists and clinicians are well versed 
with the concept of rational prescribing and essential medicines and their 
implications. But still many are not aware even with these terminologies. It 
is ironical, that a person who knows the importance of evidence-based 
medicine also does not want to practice it in real life. They do not develop 
skills to find, critically appraise and act on evidence in health and social 
care. It is found that clinicians do not give importance to learn even 
through CMEs which were earlier started by Indian Medical Association. They 
prefer to be dictated by MRs and feel pleased to accept financial incentives 
by their pharmaceutical industry. There is strong need of "No free lunch 
culture" and social obligation.
