--------------------------------------------------------

The Neurohospitalist Society is the only national organization of Neurohospitalists. This rapidly growing field is revolutionizing the inpatient care of patients with, or at risk for, neurological disease.

Founded in 2011, the Neurohospitalist Society is central to the organized development of Neurohospitalist practice and as a grassroots organization has spanned all types of practice nationally, from small to large hospitals and private practice to academia. Thought leaders in the field lead our organization and play a very active role in our meetings. Attendees in past years have been more than 95% US-based physicians, with the balance being ARNP’s, PA’s, and administrators.

Each year has seen a significant increase in the size of our organization as well as attendance at our annual meetings. We invite you and your company to join with us as we forge new paths forward in the care of our patients.

OUR MISSION

The Neurohospitalist Society (NHS) was formed to create a central unifying organization of neurohospitalists. Neurohospitalists are physicians and providers who care for hospitalized patients with, or at risk for, neurological disorders and diseases. We are a rapidly growing group focused on managing acute neurological illness and defined more by 'what we do' than a particular training experience. The Neurohospitalist Society advances neurological health care for hospitalized patients and supports the development of a vibrant neurohospitalist community and profession.

Neurohospitalists treat a wide range of acute neurologic conditions, including stroke, seizures, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating disorders, and also help to manage the neurologic complications of medical disease.

OUR VISION
To enable the Neurohospitalist community to flourish, the practice to advance, the patients to thrive, and the members to succeed.

AGREEMENT

The Neurohospitalist Society (NHS) is committed to the continuing medical education (CME) of its members, designed to improve and enhance critical thinking and analysis of the latest neuroscientific information, to help promote innovation in the basic sciences, and to increase competence and improve practice performance and thereby patient care in the clinical sciences. This is accomplished by providing diverse, advanced, relevant, judicious, challenging and sometimes controversial information in the neurosciences, provided through didactic programs and scholarly debate. Our CME activities are independent of the control of commercial interests.

As part of this commitment, the NHS has outlined in this written agreement the terms, conditions, and purposes of Exhibitor support for its non-CME activities only, which are concurrent but in a separate room from the CME program.

2. The Accredited Provider is responsible for all decisions regarding the identification of educational needs, determination of educational objectives, selection and presentation of content, selection of all persons and organizations that will be in a position to control the content of the CME, selection of education methods, and the evaluation of the activity.

Appropriate Use of Commercial Support

3. The Accredited Provider will make all decisions regarding the disposition and disbursement of the funds from the Commercial Interest.

Commercial Promotion

7. Product-promotion material or product-specific advertisement of any type is prohibited in or during the CME activity. The juxtaposition of editorial and advertising material on the same products or subjects is not allowed. Live or enduring promotional activities must be kept separate from the CME activity. Promotional materials cannot be displayed or distributed in the education space immediately before, during or after a CME activity. Commercial Interests may not engage in sales or promotional activities while in the space or place of the CME activity.

8. The Commercial Interest may not be the agent providing the CME activity to the learners.

Disclosure

9. The Accredited Provider will ensure that the source of support from the Commercial Interest, either direct or “in-kind,” is disclosed to the participants, in program brochures, syllabi, and other program materials, and at the time of the activity. This disclosure will not include the use of a trade name or a product-group message. The acknowledgment of commercial support may state the name, mission, and clinical involvement of the company or institution and may include corporate logos and slogans, if they are not product promotional in nature.

The Commercial Supporter and the NHS agree to abide by all requirements of the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support.
