Lexi-Comp's partnership with AMSA was established to give our nation's physicians-in-training access to drug information that is free from pharmaceutical influence. Maintained and updated by an in-house staff of clinicians, Lexi-Comp's unbiased drug reference content is now available for purchase by AMSA's premedical student, resident and practicing physician members. The partnership complements AMSA's PharmFree Campaign, which guides future physicians in organizing to advocate for evidence-based rather than marketing-based prescribing practices, the removal of conflicts of interest and global access to essential medicines. "AMSA members are dedicated to reducing conflicts of interest within medicine," said John Brockman, AMSA national president. "AMSA's PharmFree Campaign educates future physicians how to treat patients using the best existing clinical evidence, not carefully packaged advertising. This is what led us to choosing Lexi-Comp as a partner - they are dedicated to providing our members drug information that is free from pharmaceutical influence." The product range available to AMSA members includes Lexi-Comp's most comprehensive bundles of drug information databases and medical reference material - Lexi-COMPLETE(TM), Lexi-CLINICAL SUITE(TM), and Lexi-Drugs & Lexi-Interact(TM) - and is accessible on the latest PDA and Smartphone devices, including: iPhone(R), BlackBerry(R), iPod touch(R), Palm(R), Palm webOS(TM), Pocket PC, Windows Mobile(R) and Android(TM).
