| The MCN compliance committee ensures our full compliance with the PhRMA code on interactions with health care professionals, FDA regulations, and other corporate policies governing ethical business practices. To that end, each meeting of MCN is focused on informing health care professionals about products, providing scientific and educational information, and supporting medical research and education. |
All members hold a written contract with MCN which specifies the nature of MCN’s services and the basis of payment for those services. The legitimate needs for members’ services are clearly identified in advance. Contracts are written on a calendar year basis
Consultant Honoraria, fees and expenses
Consultants are paid an honorarium for services provided to MCN for the full year. The honorarium is consistent with fair market value. There is no entertainment (i.e. golf or spa) or gifts provided by MCN at any of the meetings. The honorarium ensures consultant participation in:
• Scheduled meetings throughout the year
• Guidance inquiries in the form of telephone, fax or web based surveys
• Specific ad hoc consultations throughout the year |
