Marketing in Conjunction with Accredited Continuing Education
As an accredited provider, the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society has the responsibility to ensure that education is separate from marketing by ineligible companies. The ACCME defines an ineligible company as an entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. Ineligible refers to the definition of the company and not its ability to market or exhibit in association with the accredited event.
Arrangements to allow ineligible companies to market or exhibit in association with accredited education must not:
- Influence any decisions related to the planning, delivery, and evaluation of the education
- Interfere with the presentation of the education
- Be a condition of the provision of financial or in-kind support from ineligible companies for the education
