Can commercial interests provide data to Instructors for COPE Accredited CE?
Yes, that would be allowed. In some cases, company data on manufacturing processes or product material content could prove valuable in the presentation of some educational courses. The use of company slides with corporate logos will not be acceptable, however referencing the origin of the data (by company name, not including any product information) is mandatory. In all cases, Instructors must present courses that are fair balanced and free of commercial bias.
