What gets disclosed to learners before the education?
If there are NO relevant financial relationships:
Inform learners that planners, faculty, and others in control of content (either individually or as a group) have no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies.
Examples:
"Dr. Trent Reed, faculty for this educational event, has no relevant financial relationship(s) with ineligible companies to disclose.”
“Amy Tomkins, Dr. Felix Aziz, and Ken Geffen, authors of this educational activity, have no relevant financial relationship(s) with ineligible companies to disclose.”
“None of the planners for this educational activity have relevant financial relationship(s) to disclose with ineligible companies whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.”
If there ARE relevant financial relationships:
Disclose name(s) of the individuals, name of the ineligible company(ies) with which they have a relevant financial relationship(s), the nature of the relationship(s), and a statement that all relevant financial relationships have been mitigated.
"Rose Gage, faculty for this educational event, is on the speakers’ bureau for XYZ Device Company."
"Elane Grace, planner for this educational event, has received a research grant from ABC Pharmaceuticals."
All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.
