Conflict of Interest
UChicago Medicine strives to avoid actual or perceived
conflicts of interest that may compromise our ability to provide
patient care, transact business, or make purchasing decisions,
or that pose a risk to the operations and reputation of the
hospital. UChicago Medicine personnel and medical staff
members must exercise care in all relationships with vendors or
potential vendors of UChicago Medicine and must refrain from
actions that may harm UChicago Medicine. Examples of these
kinds of activities include:
- Using funds, property, or resources of UChicago Medicine
for a non-UChicago Medicine purpose;
- Using work time compensated by UChicago Medicine for
personal benefit;
- Transacting UChicago Medicine business on terms that are
less advantageous than those competitively available, or
those available through arms-length dealing; and
- Accepting or solicitng anything of value, either in the
form of a gift, contributions, or other items of value from
vendors or potential vendors that is not specifically
permitted by UChicago Medicine policy.
Upon employment with UChicago Medicine, all employees are
required to complete a Conflicts of Interest disclosure
form. Various UChicago Medicine faculty and staff also
provide full disclosures of possible conflicts of interest on an
annual basis. Below are links to applicable UChicago
Medicine and University of Chicago policies.
