Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Mitigation of Conflicts of Interest for AAP CME Activities Grid

The AAP recognizes that there are a variety of financial relationships between individuals and ineligible companies that require review to identify possible conflicts of interest in a CME activity. The “AAP Policy on Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Mitigation of Conflicts of Interest for AAP CME Activities” is designed to ensure quality, objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous AAP CME activities by identifying and mitigating all potential conflicts of interest prior to the confirmation of service of those in a position to influence and/or control CME content. AAP has taken steps to mitigate any potential conflicts of interest.  The purpose of this policy is to ensure all potential conflicts of interest are identified and mechanisms to mitigate them prior to the CME activity are implemented in ways that are consistent with the public good. The AAP is committed to providing learners with commercially unbiased CME activities.

All AAP CME activities will strictly adhere to the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. In accordance with these Standards, the following decisions will be made free of the control of an ineligible company: 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 CME activity.

DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS

All individuals in a position to influence and/or control the content of AAP CME activities are required to disclose to the AAP and subsequently to learners that the individual either has no financial relationships or any financial relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in CME activities. An ineligible company is defined as any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.  Listed below are the disclosures provided by individuals in a position to influence and/or control CME activity content.  All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.  This activity may discuss or demonstrate pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices that are not approved by the FDA and/or medical or surgical procedures that involve an unapproved or “off-label” use of an approved device or pharmaceutical.
