Verify that you have completed a recent AAFP’s CME Disclosure Form.
The applicant must read the CME Disclosure Policy and submit the CME Disclosure form (Option 1). The applicant must disclose online to the AAFP the existence of any financial relationships with ineligible companies that have occurred within the previous 24 months (36 months for journal editors and editorial board members) and might occur within the foreseeable future. An ineligible company is defined as one whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. Individuals must disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies, regardless of the amount or the potential relevance to the education. Should the status change during the course of the application process or the activity, the CME disclosure form should be updated as appropriate. CME disclosure forms must be completed or updated in order for submissions to be reviewed.
Having a financial relationship does not preclude an individual from presenting. If any financial relationship is determined to be a potential relevant financial relationship as it relates to the topic(s) submitted for the CME activity, the applicant will be notified, and a mitigation strategy will be discussed. For individuals with a relevant financial relationship, a mitigation strategy must be in place prior to confirmation of the individual’s participation and all relevant financial relationships must be appropriately mitigated and resolved prior to the activity being delivered to learners.
All relevant financial relationships (as determined by the AAFP) or lack therefore, must be disclosed to learners, and AAFP staff will include that information in the PowerPoint presentation to be verbally noted by the presenter at the beginning of the session. Any individual who refuses to disclose a relevant financial relationships will be disqualified from presenting.
The AAFP complies with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education’s (ACCME’s) Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, the American Medical Association’s (AMA’s) Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) ethics policies, and other laws, regulations, and codes that pertain to CME disclosure. All faculty are required to read and comply with the AAFP’s CME disclosure policy. Noncompliance will result in honorarium penalties and one-year probation from a faculty appointment.
All activities must comply with AAFP, AMA and ACCME rules and therefore, must be educational in nature. If you have a financial interest, such as a book or a mobile app, it is permissible to mention only if it is educational in nature and done so in a fair and balanced manner. Promotional messages of any kind are prohibited in CME.
