in accordance with the NCCHC's disclosure policy, everyone who is in a position to control NCCHC's educational content (including planners, speakers committee members, and moderators) has been asked to disclose all relevant financial interests with any commercial interest that might be germane to the content of the presentations. Such disclosure is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation but rather is elicited to provide information that attendees might deem important to their evaluation of a given presentation. NCCHC ensures that all potential conflicts of interest are identified, and mechanisms are implemented to resolve them prior to the individual’s involvement in the CE activity. No individuals on the Education Committee have disclosed a relevant financial relationship with a commercial interest outside of their employers.
