Faculty and Content Specialist Conflict of Interest Statements
Having an interest in an organization does not prevent a speaker from making a presentation, but the audience must be informed of this relationship prior to the start of the activity and any potential conflict must be resolved. In order to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor at all programs, the planners and faculty must make full disclosure indicating whether the planner, faculty or content specialist and/or his/her spouse or family has any relationships with pharmaceutical companies, biomedical device manufacturers and/or corporations whose products or services are related to pertinent therapeutic areas. All planners, faculty, content specialists and feedback specialists participating in CE activities must disclose to the audience information listed below.
