 In order to comply with the ACCME's Updated Standards for Commercial Support, The American College of Surgeons, as the accredited provider for this meeting, has implemented a new disclosure process to ensure that anyone who is in a position to control the content of the educational activity has disclosed all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interest as it pertains to the content of the presentation. The ACCME defines a "commercial interest" as any proprietary entity producing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on patients. It does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests.

The ACS considers "relevant" financial relationships as financial transactions (in any amount) occurring within the past 12 months that may create a conflict of interest. The updated standards also require that ACS manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the session. The planning committee members (if applicable) and speakers were contacted and the conflicts listed below have been managed to our satisfaction. However, if you perceive a bias, please advise us of the circumstances on the evaluation.

Please note we have advised the speakers that it is their responsibility to disclose at the start of their presentation if they will be describing the use of a device, product, or drug that is not FDA approved or the off-label use of an approved device, product, or drug or unapproved usage.

The requirement for disclosure is not intended to imply any impropriety of such relationship, but simply to identify such relationships through full disclosure, and to allow the audience to form its own judgments regarding the presentation.
