Disclosure of Faculty Relationship with Commercial Companies or Organizations

ASLME endorses the standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the guidelines of the American Medical Association. To insure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in this educations program, all speakers are expected to disclose to the audience any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest that may have a direct bearing on the subject matter of the conference.

The intent of the policy is not to prevent a speaker with a potential conflict of interest from making a presentation. It is merely intended that any potential conflict should be identified openly so that the listeners may form their own judgments about the presentation with the full disclosure of the facts. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker's outside interests may reflect a possible bias in either the exposition or the conclusions presented.

Faculty presentations in CME activities must also:

Give a balanced view of the therapeutic options, by themselves or in conjunction with other presentations
Identify unlabeled or investigational uses of a commercial product
Use generic names of products to contribute to impartiality. If trade names are referenced, those of several companies should be used.
