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. The 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, the Cleveland
Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its
physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 2/14/2010, Dr. Bae has reported no financial relationship
with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients
should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships
and how the relationships are overseen by the Cleveland Clinic. To learn
