PAS
programming is jointly sponsored by the Center for
Continuing Education, Tulane University Health Sciences
Center. All educational activities are implemented in
accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements,
ACCME Policies, and ACCME Standards for Commercial
Support to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and
scientific rigor.
The
Disclosure and COI Resolution Guidelines comply with the
ACCME Standards of Commercial Support
(SCS). The
SCS describe six Standards: (1) independence (2)
resolution of personal conflicts of interest (3)
appropriate use of commercial support (4) appropriate
management of associated commercial promotion (5)
content and format without commercial bias and (6)
disclosures relevant to potential commercial bias. These
Standards underscore continued voluntary
self-regulation by the CME community, ensuring that
physicians have opportunities to engage in commercially
unbiased life-long learning facilitated by accredited
providers. The purpose of this policy is twofold:
establishes guidelines and a mechanism for identifying and
resolving conflicts of interest in CME educational
activities as required in Standard 2 and is
consistent with Tulane University’s institutional policy
for resolving conflicts of commitment and interest.
Any real or apparent conflicts of interest related to
the content of the presentation must be resolved prior
to participation and/or presentation.
To
ensure that the content of your
presentation/participation promotes improvements or
quality in healthcare and avoids evidence of commercial
bias, we ask you to follow the PAS/Tulane CCE Policy
and Procedure for Identifying and Resolving Conflicts of
Interest (COI) -
(http://www.pas-meeting.org/2010Vancouver/CME/CMEPolicy.asp).
Please pay special attention to the definitions of terms
in assessing your disclosure.
