Conflict of Interest

Conflict of interest within the medical context occurs when a doctor’s ability to act in the
best interest of the patient is influenced by an outside relationship with a person, group,
or business. The conflict may be expressed at the individual or institutional level. The
most common conflicts of interest arise when the potential for financial gain exists for the
physician, which is often due to relationships with industry sponsors, or with personal
ownership of testing facilities. The conflict may ultimately compromise the patient’s
standard of care or bias research studies. Conflicts of interest should always be disclosed
and attempts made to minimize bias.
