As an organization accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Office of Continuing Medical Education (UTSW CME) requires that the content of CME activities and related materials provide balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor. Planning must be free of the influence or control of any ineligible company, and promote improvements or quality in healthcare.  In accordance with ACCCME’s Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, all persons in the position to control the content of an education activity are required to disclose all financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 24 months with any ineligible company producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on patients. UT Southwestern also considers ineligible those companies producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products in development for future use on patients, such as healthcare product research companies. Accredited providers do not need to identify, mitigate, or disclose relevant financial relationships for accredited education that is non-clinical, such as leadership or communication skills training. In accordance with this exception, this activity content has been designated as exempt from the disclosure identification and mitigation process.
