The Medical Letter, Inc.

The Medical Letter, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 1958 by Arthur Kallet, the co-founder of Consumers Union, and Dr. Harold Aaron. Since 1958, The Medical Letter has no affiliation whatsoever with Consumers Union. Its two flagship publications, "The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics" and "Treatment Guidelines from The Medical Letter", are completely independent of the pharmaceutical industry and are, therefore, crucial resources for members of the healthcare community to consult when confronted by the advertisements and sales representatives of the industry.

The Medical Letter, Inc. is supported solely by subscriptions and accepts no advertising, grants or donations.The Medical Letter has had a strict policy in place, since 1959, that in order to retain their objectivity, they will not sell reprints to the pharmaceutical industry.
