Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships

As a provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the University of California, Davis, Health must ensure balance, independence and objectivity in all its continuing medical education (CME) activities to promote improvements in health care and not proprietary interests of a commercial interest. The CME provider controls all decisions related to identification of CME 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, selection of educational methods and evaluation of the activity. Course directors, planning committee members, presenters, authors, moderators, panel members and others in a position to control the content of this activity are required to disclose relevant financial relationships with commercial interests related to the subject matter of this educational activity. Learners are able to assess the potential for commercial bias when complete disclosure, resolution of conflicts of interest, and acknowledgment of commercial support are provided prior to the activity. Informed learners are the final safeguards in assuring that a CME activity is independent from the influence or control of commercial interests. We believe these mechanisms contribute to the transparency and accountability of CME.

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education defines a commercial interest as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods and services consumed by, or used on patients.
