Learner Bill of Rights
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) recognizes that you are a lifelong learner who has chosen to
engage in continuing medical education to identify or fill a gap in knowledge, skill, or performance. As part of AACE's duty
to you as a learner, you have the right to expect that your continuing medical education experience with AACE includes:
CONTENT that:
Promotes improvements or quality in healthcare;
Is valid, reliable, and accurate;
Offers balanced presentations that are free of commercial bias for or against a product/service;
Is vetted through a process that resolves any conflicts of interests of planners, teachers, or authors;
Is driven and based on learning needs, not commercial interests;
Addresses the stated objectives or purpose; and
Is evaluated for its effectiveness in meeting the identified educational need.
A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that:
Supports learners' ability to meet their individual needs;
Respects and attends to any special needs of the learners;
Respects the diversity of groups of learners; and
Is free of promotional, commercial, and/or sales activities.
DISCLOSURE of:
Relevant financial relationships planners, teachers, and authors have with commercial interests related to the content of
the activity; and
Commercial support (funding or in-kind resources) of the activity.
Declaration of Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
It is the policy of AACE to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all of its CME activities. Presentation content may include discussion of an unlabeled or an investigational use of a product. AACE requires that participating faculty disclose to the audience any product(s) and its use(s) discussed in the educational activity that are unapproved/unlabeled for the use by the FDA or still considered investigational in nature.
Everyone who is in a position to control the content of an educational activity must disclose all relevant financial relationships. "Relevant financial relationships" are financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest. AACE requires speakers, faculty, CME Committee and other individuals who are in a position to control the content of this educational activity to disclose any real or apparent conflict of interest they may have as related to the content of this activity. All identified conflicts of interest are thoroughly evaluated by AACE for fair balance, scientific objectivity of studies mentioned in the presentation and educational materials used as basis for content, and appropriateness of patient care recommendations.
The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent a speaker with commercial affiliations from presenting, but rather to provide learners with information from which they may make their own judgments. Informed learners are the final safeguards in assuring that a CME activity is independent from commercial influence.
AACE has reviewed all disclosures and resolved or managed all identified conflicts of interest for this educational activity, as applicable.
