Industry Relationships

Industry Relationships

Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.

To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients.

My experience would be described as special. Leading the way is Dr. Shah. He and his staff worked seamlessly together. They were knowledgeable, skillful, engaged, and caring. I was keenly aware of how peaceful and serene the environment was at each and every visit. No one wants to have regular visits in an oncology radiology department. However, I knew I was in safe space with staff who were comprehensively engaged in my care and well-being. Having peace of mind is an intricate part of the road to healing. The entire department is an example of what you hope for in your treatment plan. It has been simply seamless. As I complete my comments, I am inspired to especially thank Dr. Shah. He has been a shining example of a physician with qualities of expertise, character, patience, and a finely tuned active listener. I have learned that all things can be present, but lacking heart sets anything else aside. I always saw and felt that what I had to say mattered. My life mattered. I was given gifts in the most unexpected of places. I am grateful. I am thankful.
