    In accordance with ACCME regulations, the American College of Surgeons must ensure that anyone who is in a position to control the content of the education activity has disclosed to us all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interest (see below for definitions) as it pertains to the content of the abstract. Should it be determined that a conflict of interest exists as a result of a financial relationship you may have, you will be contacted and methods to resolve the conflict will be discussed with you. In addition, all affirmative disclosures must be revealed at the beginning of the abstract.

    Failure or refusal to disclose or the inability to manage the identified conflict will result in the withdrawal of the invitation to participate.

    • Explain what you received (i.e. salary, honorarium etc.).
    • Specify your role (i.e. consultant, board member, etc.)
    • If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists as a result of a financial relationship you have, you will be contacted and methods to manage the conflict will be discussed with you.
    • If there are several answers for each line, please separate with a semicolon (;)
  • If your abstract describes the use of a device, product, or drug that is not FDA approved or the off-label use of an approved device, product, or drug or unapproved usage, it is your responsibility to disclose this information verbally in your abstract.
    Glossary of Terms

    Commercial Interest

    A commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients.  The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests.

    Financial Relationships

    Financial relationships are those relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit.  Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected.  ACCME considers relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.

    Relevant Financial Relationships 

    The ACCME focuses on financial relationships with commercial interests in the 12-month period preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the CME activity. ACCME has not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant.  Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship. The ACCME defines “’relevant’ financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest.

    Conflict of Interest

    Circumstances create a conflict of interest when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she has a financial relationship.
