Disclosure Policy Statement
The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary requires that each teacher/contributor or individual in a position to control the content of a CME activity accredited by the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary disclose the existence of any relevant financial interests or other relationships (eg. paid speaker, employee, paid consultant on a board and/or committee for a commercial company) that would potentially affect the objectivity of activity content. Teachers/Contributors are also asked to make a disclosure that a product is still investigational when an unlabeled use of a commercial product or an investigational use, not yet approved for any purpose, is discussed during an educational activity. The disclosed information in no way presumes to assess the contributor's qualifications or suitability. The intention is to provide full disclosure of any potential conflict of interest, real or apparent, which is related to a specific educational activity. Individuals who neglect to provide information about relevant financial relationships will be disqualified from serving as a planning committee member, teacher, speaker, moderator or author of the educational activity. In addition, such individuals will be prohibited from having control of or the responsibility for the development, management, presentation or evaluation of the CME activity. Full disclosure of faculty and commercial relationships is included at the beginning of this article.
