Disclosures
Disclosure Policy
IPSIS plans and implements educational activities in accordance with Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Criteria and Standards for Integrity and Independence to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor. As an ACCME-accredited provider, the Society’s disclosure policy requires everyone who is in a position to control the content of an educational activity to disclose all financial relationships with ACCME-defined ineligible companies. Ineligible companies are those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. The ACCME requires disclosure of financial relationships with ineligible companies in any amount occurring within the past 24 months.
Members of the Education Division review all disclosures during the planning process and prior to presentation, and have a process of mitigation that, if not satisfied, results in the removal of the planner or speaker. The intent of this policy is not to prevent individuals with relevant relationships with ineligible companies or other interests from involvement in CME activities, but to ensure that the Society’s CME activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, are based on valid content, and are independent from commercial interests and free of commercial bias. Disclosure information will be made available to all participants at this meeting. Speakers are also required to disclose this information to the participants verbally and on the introductory slide at the beginning of each presentation.
FDA Disclosure
If a device or drug requiring FDA approval is identified as an important component of a presentation, the author must indicate the FDA status of that device or drug as Approved, Investigational, or Not Approved
for distribution within the United States. The FDA has stated it is the responsibility of the physician to determine the FDA status of each drug or device he or she wishes to use in clinical practice and to use these products in compliance with
applicable law.
Commercial Support Disclosure
The Society fully complies with all ACCME requirements for commercial support and maintains a separation of promotion from education. The content or format of IPSIS CME activities, or its related
materials, promote improvements or quality in healthcare and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest. The International Pain & Spine Intervention Society is a non-profit medical society. Revenues from this and
all courses are used for future research and educational endeavors.
