DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS ON INTEREST
In accordance with policies set forth by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), Center for Independent
Healthcare Education requires all faculty members and spouses/significant others with an opportunity to affect the content
of a continuing education activity to disclose any relevant financial relationships during the past 12 months with commercial
interests. A commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, reselling or distributing health care goods or services
consumed by or used on patients. Relationships with commercial interests and conflicts of interest resulting from those relationships
must be revealed to the audience and resolved prior to the activity.
Relevant relationships include roles such as speaker, author, consultant, independent contractor (including research), employee,
investor, advisory committee member, board member, review panelist, and investigator. If a potential speaker or author indicates
a possible conflict of interest, the conflict will be resolved by choosing another speaker or author for that topical area,
or the slides, handouts, and/or monograph will be reviewed and approved by a qualified commercially-disinterested peer.
