CONTENT VALIDATION AND DISCLOSURES
Research To Practice is committed to providing its participants with high-quality, unbiased and state-of-the-art education. We assess potential conflicts of interest with faculty, planners and managers of CME activities. Real or apparent conflicts of interest are identified and resolved through a conflict of interest resolution process. In addition, all activity content is reviewed by both a member of the Research To Practice scientific staff and an external, independent reviewer for fair balance, scientific objectivity of studies referenced and patient care recommendations.
