PREAMBLE
ASCCP members and the general public place great trust in the work of the Society. Real or perceived undisclosed conflicts of interest may jeopardize that trust and ASCCP’s effectiveness. Conflicts of interest also may affect the objectivity of decisions that ASCCP officers and volunteers make. To minimize the potential impact of possible conflicts of interest, the Board of Directors has determined that all participants in ASCCP activities must report all real or potential conflicts prior to the activity being developed and delivered to the learners.
Additionally, the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence require that we disqualify individuals who refuse to provide this information from involvement in the planning and implementation of accredited continuing education.
Please disclose all financial relationships that you have had in the past 24 months with ineligible companies (see definition below). For each financial relationship, enter the name of the ineligible company and the nature of the financial relationship(s). There is no minimum financial threshold; we ask that you disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies. You should disclose all financial relationships regardless of the potential relevance of each relationship to the education.
