A merican Academy of Sleep Medicine
Disclosure and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest in CME Educational
Activities
As a sponsor accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education (ACCME), the American Academy of Sleep Medicine must
ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all
its sponsored educational activities. All product developers,
planners, speakers, and chairs are expected to disclose any relevant
financial interest or other relationships relevant to the topic of the
presentation held by the individual or members of their family over
the preceding twelve months with (l) the manufacturer(s) of any
commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services, (2)
with any commercial supporters, (3) any off-label or investigational
uses of products. The individual is also required to disclose if
he/she has no relationship(s) with any manufacturer(s), product(s) or
service(s). The ACCME also requires product developers, planners,
speakers, and chairs to resolve any conflicts of interest. Therefore,
if you have relevant conflicts, you are asked to declare that you will
recuse yourself from decision-making having to do with the conflict
and/or reference the best available evidence in your
presentation/paper/product and to demonstrate this by providing 2-3
citations that you will refer to.
