Education Attestation Agreement

I understand that my participation in a continuing education (CE) activity is contingent upon the College’s review of all of my disclosed financial relationships and that certain types of financial relationships may preclude me from participation.

I attest that I will abide by the following expectations for participation in the development and delivery of education during the next 12 months.

• I have disclosed all relevant financial relationships to the College and will disclose these same relationships to learners.
• All recommendations involving clinical medicine in continuing education activities will be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine with adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients.
• All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in continuing education in support or justification of a patient care recommendation will conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis.
• I will clearly identify areas that are new or evolving topics and will not advocate for or promote practices that are not, or not yet adequately based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning.
• Any continuing education content I control will be free of commercial bias. I will give a balanced view of therapeutic options by making recommendations or providing emphasis that will fairly represent a reasonable and valid interpretation of the information available on the subject.
• I will not actively promote or sell products or services that serve my professional or financial interests during continuing education activities.
• If I discuss any off-label product use, I will disclose it to participants.
• I will not use trade names of health care products or services.
• I will not accept any honorarium/payment/reimbursement beyond what has been agreed upon directly with the College.
• If any portion of my contributions or presentation, such as slides, is not original work, I will obtain necessary copyright permissions.
• My contribution and presentation are HIPAA compliant (e.g., I will only use de-identified patient information).
