Disclosures of Relevant Financial Relationships

In accordance with the essentials and standards set forth by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education, as well as guidelines proposed by the Food and Drug Administration and endorsed by the American Medical Association, an author with a conflict of interest with the content of their abstract must disclose that conflict prior to presentation. A conflict of interest includes, but is not limited to, any relevant financial relationship in a company, product or procedure mentioned in the abstract or in the presentation to be given at the conference. A conflict in and of itself will not eliminate an abstract from consideration.

If an abstract is accepted as an oral presentation, all authors are required to complete a disclosure form upon request. Presenters will acknowledge any conflict of interests in their presentation slides or on posters.
