(Verbatim per the ACCME) ... determine whether each person’s financial relationships with ineligible companies are relevant to the content of the education you are planning. Financial relationships are relevant if the following three conditions are met for the prospective person who will control content of the education:
- A financial relationship, in any amount, exists between the person in control of content and an ineligible company.
- The content of the education is related to the products of an ineligible company with whom the person has a financial relationship.
- The financial relationship existed during the past 24 months.
Determine which mechanism appropriately resolves the specific financial conflict and indicate how the mitigation was conducted. If a financial relationship cannot be mitigated, the person with the relationship cannot control content of the accredited continuing education or credit may not be awarded for the content presented by said individual.
The ACCME asks that you please provide your rationale for your decision.
