Disclosure for CME Activity
The Northside Hospital Department of Medical Education strives to ensure the balance, independence,
objectivity and scientific rigor of all its continuing medical education (CME) activities. Faculty and
participants of CME activities, and members of CME planning and oversight committees must disclose to
the audience individuals who are in a position to affect the contents of CME activities and must disclose
to participants all their financial relationships with ineligible companies within the prior 24 months.
There is no minimum financial threshold; individuals must disclose all financial relationships, regardless
of the amount, with ineligible companies. Individuals must disclose regardless of their view of the
relevance of the relationship to the education. Examples of financial relationships include employee,
researcher, consultant, advisor, speaker, independent contractor (including contracted research),
royalties or patent beneficiary, executive role, and ownership interest. Individual stocks and stock
options should be disclosed; diversified mutual funds do not need to be disclosed. Research funding
from ineligible companies should be disclosed by the principal or named investigator even if that
individual’s institution receives the research grant and manages the funds. As an accredited CME
provider, Northside Hospital is required to identify and resolve any potential conflict of interest prior to
you affecting content of any CME activities affiliated with Northside Hospital.
