Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships:
AAIP 46th Annual Meeting, July 27th - 30th, 2017
Thank you for agreeing to assist with planning or to present at this CE activity. Please review the following before completing the disclosure process.
As an accredited continuing education provider by ACCME, ANCC, and ACPE, the IHS Clinical Support Center (CSC) must ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all its certified educational activities. As such, the course directors/coordinators, planning committee members, faculty/speakers, content experts/reviewers and all individuals in a position to control the content of an educational activity must make full disclosure indicating whether they and their respective spouse/partner, have had any relevant financial relationships with commercial interests within the last 12 months. A commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, used on, patients.
In order to ensure CE activities promote improvements or quality in healthcare and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest, CSC will identify and resolve all conflicts of interest and inform the learners of all such relationships prior to the start of the activity. Individuals who do not provide the requested disclosure information will be disqualified from participating in the development, management, presentation, or evaluation of a CE activity.
