  1. Submit a copy of their presentation slides for review to the APA office by Monday, May 21. Slides must contain disclosure information as stated below. Please convert your slides to a PDF document before uploading. Slides can be uploaded here. If you have any issues uploading a PDF file, please email the file to PHM2018@academicpeds.org.
  2. List the following statements/information (Options A & B) on the first slide of each of their presentations:

    Option A
    "I have no relevant financial relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in this CME activity."

    -or-

    "I have the following financial relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in this CME activity:"

    Research Support from:
    Speakers' Bureau for:

    If on a speaker's bureau, the slide must also state:

    "It is my obligation to disclose to you (the audience) that I am on the Speakers Bureau for (name of commercial interest).

    Option B
    "I do (or) do not intend to discuss an unapproved/investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation."

  3. Give a balanced view of therapeutic options. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality. If the CME educational material or content includes trade names, then trade names from several companies should be used, not just trade names from a single company.
