The 2009 Ackerman Symposium on Medicine & Culture gathers together national leaders from academic medicine, industry, CME programs, and professional organizations to investigate the historical roots and current structure of industrial support of continuing medical education. The goal of this half-day conference is to produce a productive conversation among the many stakeholders involved and attempt to map possible paths forward. As ongoing physician education remains fundamental to the vitality of the medical profession, this subject is of vital importance to all concerned with the state of contemporary medical education and practice.
