Conflict of Interest Policy
            The APSNA mission is that APSNA will be the voice that shapes pediatric surgical nursing through advocacy, collaboration, mentorship and leadership. Based on a foundation of research, education and innovation, APSNA will transform care delivery for pediatric surgical patients. This mission is the primary interest that will be prioritized in all APSNA activities. A conflict of interest thus compromises an individual’s accountability to APSNAs Mission and to those that APSNA aims to serve and risks erosion of the trust placed in APSNA to fulfill this mission.
            APSNA requires individuals subject to the Conflict of Interest Policy to read this policy, confirm receipt and agree to compliance, and to disclose all relevant interests, including, but not limited to financial relationships with entities that could be affected financially by the activities of APSNA, such as Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Food & Nutrition, and Medical Devices and Equipment companies, or foundations, advocacy groups, or other organizations supported by entities that may have a financial stake in the outcome. Public funding sources, such as government agencies or academic institutions need not be disclosed. Time period for disclosure is within 5 years from when this form is completed.
