A vendor has offered to underwrite the cost of travel, lodging, and other expenses in connection with my attendance at an off-site meeting. May I accept the offer?
Subsidies from vendors should not be accepted directly or indirectly to pay for the costs of travel, lodging, or other personal expenses. There also should be no payment directly to a physician for attending the meeting if the physician’s participation was passive. It is appropriate for a speaker or other active conference participant to accept a reasonable honorarium and to accept reimbursement for reasonable travel, lodging, and meal expenses.
