Conflict of Interest Per ACCME requirements for CME certification, Moderators are responsible for addressing Conflict of Interest (COI). Information will be included at the head table. (A COI sheet will be placed on the head table prior to your session for you to indicate any conflict of interest. Please complete during the session and indicate resolution for any conflicts. Door monitors will collect this from the head table following your session.)

Disclosure  Make sure the speaker gives a verbal disclosure at the beginning of the talk.

Commercial Bias  Moderators are responsible for “keeping the presentations balanced.  When a company’s product is mentioned, we ask that the moderator note other products generally acceptable for the procedure discussed if the speaker does not.  It would also be appropriate to announce the speaker’s documentation of the potential conflict as noted in the disclosure index listed on the ORS website or ask the faculty speaker if such a conflict exits.
