Well if the new grads coming out of pharmacy school are to be believed (and I've no reason to doubt them) at least 20% of all pharmacy school lectures begin with a pharma rep giving them an advertisement of their products (including free hand outs). I personally would be ENRAGED that I was paying big bucks for that type of education.

I agree wholeheartedly. I was enraged just hearing about it and it was NOT going on in 1997 when I graduated. Worse I mis-wrote it is actually the first 20 minutes of EVERY lecture. The students are left missing out on the last part (given hand outs) and no question and answer period. The $$ coming in from NAIAD/NIH/Pharma for research is the bread and butter of academia. It's a cancer.
hand-outs lol like that's even a thing anymore--told to read the notes that are probably online--and I'm guessing they're not allowed in MedChem as those profs only like the sound of their own voices...I also am sure it's not every lecture but the student describing was so frustrated.

That's not education it's indoctrination.
Consumers as a whole should be highly enraged that healthcare professions are being degraded by such educational bastardizations.
