CME Policy

The American Society of Dermatopathology (ASDP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). As such, we are required to meet the ACCME’s expectations for our practice of continuing medical education.

It is the policy of the ASDP to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all of its educational activities. Faculty participating in and planning the MOC online self-assessments must comply with all procedures governing disclosure. The ASDP has implemented a process where everyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity will present evidence-based content, disclose all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interest and discussion of unlabeled/investigational uses of a commercial product. In addition, presentations must be free of commercial bias and any information regarding commercial products/services must be based on scientific methods generally accepted by the medical community.

Conflicts were resolved prior to this educational activity. Faculty who refused to disclose relevant financial relationships and discussion of unlabeled/investigational uses of a commercial product would have been disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of this CME activity.

Faculty relationships are disclosed to audiences in individual educational activities.
