DISCLOSURE

The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence.  In addition to independence, the FDA requires that non-promotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous.  The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants.  In addition, policy of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education now mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program.  We, at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts. 

 
PLANNING COMMITTEE

Individuals may audiotape the course solely for personal use, and only battery-operated tape recorders which do not require a podium microphone will be allowed.  No video recording or photography is permitted.
