Prior to the start of this activity, all relevant financial relationships were mitigated

All other planners, reviewers, and staff for this activity have no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies (formerly known as commercial interests).

Faculty Disclosure of Financial Relationship(s)

It is the policy of AAD that all faculty participating in a CME-certified activity are required to disclose to AAD and to learners all financial relationships they have with any ineligible companies in any amount occurring within the past 24 months that could create a conflict of interest[1].  Typically, such relationships would be with companies that whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent participation in CME-certified educational activities by individuals with a relevant financial relationship with an ineligible company(s), but rather to provide learners with information on which they can make their own determination whether or not said relationship(s) influenced the content of the educational activity.

Faculty disclosure information is located within activity front matter in the Learning Center.  Faculty have been asked to also make a verbal disclosure at the start of their presentations supplemented by a disclosure slide in order to verify the accuracy of the disclosure information posted in the session and ensure their disclosure information is shared with the learners PRIOR to the presentation taking place.

Resolution of Conflicts of Interest

In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Independence and Integrity in Accredited Continuing Education, the American Academy of Dermatology has implemented mechanisms, prior to the planning and implementation of this CME activity, to identify and mitigate conflicts of interest for all individuals in a position to control the content of this CME activity.
