How should we identify personal financial relationships (Question 5-Plan for a CME Activity)?
It is wise to be aware of speaker’s personal financial interest very early in the planning process in order to avoid being faced downstream with a relationship for which there can be no easy means for its resolution. In the Plan for a CME Activity, there are a series of 3 short screening questions listed in Question 5. Whether planning a course or a Regularly Scheduled Series, these screening questions are best asked when the presenter verbally agrees to be a speaker, moderator or panelist. Note that these screening questions do not appear in the Plan for a Regularly Scheduled Series form.
