****Disclosure Instructions****

The California Medical Association (IMQ/CMA) policy requires reporting of financial relationships of a planner, faculty, or author. To identify any potential conflicts of interest, please complete this disclosure statement. If you are unable to disclose these financial relationships for any reason, you will be disqualified from participating in this activity. Please list any financial relationships with a commercial interest. The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) defines a commercial interest as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical services directly to patients to be commercial interests, thus the ACCME exempts the following types of organizations: non-profit or government organizations; non-health care related companies; liability and health insurance providers; group medical practices; and for-profit hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes, blood banks and diagnostic laboratories.

In the space below, please disclose financial relationships with a commercial interest that:

Occurred during the past 12 months from the date you are reporting.
Includes spouse/partner financial relationships with a commercial interest.
States the name of the commercial interest and the nature of the relationship regardless of the amount.
Covers ownership or part ownership of commercial interests, membership on boards of directors, trustees or advisory committees of commercial interests, grants or research support from commercial interests (excluding grants from government or non-profit, independent foundations), employee of commercial interests, salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consultant for commercial interests, stock holder (excluding mutual fund holdings) of commercial interests, member of speakers bureau of commercial interests.
Note: Prior to the start of the activity, your relevant financial relationships or lack thereof will be disclosed to the audience. If there is a change in the reported information prior to the activity date, you are required to notify appropriate staff at PCOOS.

Purpose of Disclosure

As a CME provider accredited by Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), we must ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all of our sponsored educational activities. We adhere to the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support.

Everyone who is in a position to control the content of an educational activity throughout the planning and delivery phases must disclose to us the nature of any relationship with a commercial interest as defined by the ACCME. This includes all physicians and non-physician employees involved in planning, as well as authors, presenters and faculty.

A conflict of interest exists when an individual (or their spouse/partner) has a financial relationship with a commercial interest and the opportunity to affect CME content related to that commercial interest. The intent of disclosure is not to disqualify a speaker, author or program planner from participating in an educational activity, but to resolve any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from financial relationships with a commercial interest that are determined to be relevant. IMQ/CMA has a process to resolve any conflicts of interest and assume that resolution will be possible. During this process, you may be asked for further information or explanations.

If applicable, please enter: Name of commercial interest, type of compensation (e.g. honoraria, grant, salary. A dollar amount is NOT required), Indicate a role (e.g. Speaker’s bureau, research, owner, etc.) and if it is your role or your spouse/partner’s role.
If applicable, please describe any financial relationship(s) conflict of interest, as required by the ACCME-defined commercial interest in order to resolve any Conflict of Interest.
I attest that I will not receive payment in any form from any corporate entity as described above for my participation in this CME program. By typing in my name and the date, I certify electronically that the above statements are true to my knowledge. The ACCME prohibits Faculty/Speakers/Presenters, Planners, Staff, Authors, Approvers and Reviewers from receiving any form of payment for their participation in CME programs.
