Case Western Reserve medical education for physicians.

 

Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits^TM.  Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

 

Non-physician attendance credit is provided to non-physicians who participate in activities that were designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM.  The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) accept certificates of participation for educational activities certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM from organizations accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education or a recognized state medical society. It is suggested that learners check with their state licensing board to ensure it accepts reciprocity with AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for re-licensure.

 

As an organization accredited by the ACCME, the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine CME Program requires that the content of CME activities and related materials provide balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor.  All faculty, planners, and others in a position to control continuing medical education content are required to disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies within the past 24 months regardless of the amount and their view of the relevance of the relationship to the education. Ineligible companies are organizations whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. Faculty (authors, presenters, speakers) are encouraged to provide a balanced view of therapeutic options by utilizing either generic names or other options available when utilizing trade names to ensure impartiality.

 

The Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine CME Program has implemented a mechanism to identify and resolve all conflicts of interest prior to the activity. The intent of this policy is to identify potential conflicts of interest so participants can form their own judgments with full disclosure of the facts. Participants are asked to evaluate whether the speaker’s outside interests reflect a possible bias in the planning or presentation of the activity.
