All persons who will be in a position to control the content of the activity are required to disclose all relevant financial relationships, regardless of the amount, that they have had in the past 24 months with ineligible companies.

Activities must be balanced, independent of commercial bias, and designed to improve quality in health care. All recommendations involving clinical medicine must be based on evidence accepted within the profession.
