Please read the following and confirm your attestation below:

As Course Director for this accredited continuing education (CE) activity, I attest that I am not an employee of, nor do I have an ownership interest in, an ACCME-defined ineligible company.

For your reference, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) defines an ineligible company as:
“Any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.”
Examples include pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, and biomedical companies that produce or market healthcare products intended for patient use.

I further understand and acknowledge that ownership includes part-ownership of any start-up company or other organization—such as through MCW (Medical College of Wisconsin) or any other entity—even if I have not received any financial gain, payment, or distribution from such ownership. If I hold any such ownership interest, I recognize that I must disclose this information and recuse myself from the role of Activity Director for this activity.

If I have any questions about this attestation or about my status concerning ineligible companies, I understand that I should contact the Office of Continuing Professional Development (OCPD).
