Welcome to the website for the LECOM School of Pharmacy Center for Drug Information and Research (CDIR). The Center was established with a mission to provide students, faculty, preceptors, and the public with timely independent, best evidence analysis and commentary on pharmaceuticals and healthcare policy as it relates to pharmaceuticals.

The Center is being established to proactively provide useful, scientifically accurate drug information to the largest audience possible. The Center will respond to specific requests for information. However, because the boundary between scientific communication and promotion has been blurred resulting in a crisis in the public's confidence in the independence and objectivity of the peer reviewed medical literature the Center will focus on the rapid dissemination of balancing information.

The Center is free from any real or potential economic conflicts of interest that allow us to give best evidence analyses on important pharmaceutical issues facing health professionals and the public.

We welcome your comments which can be sent to here.
