*SPEAKER/PLANNER DISCLOSURE INFORMATION
The University of Washington School of Medicine endorses the Standards of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education and the guidelines of the Association of American Colleges that the sponsors of continuing medical education activities and the planners and speakers at these activities disclose significant relationships with commercial companies whose products or services are discussed in educational presentations. Significant relationships include receiving from a commercial company research grants, consultancies, honoraria and travel, or other benefits or having a self-managed equity interest in a company. Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation, but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of a presentation.

The University of Washington School of Medicine, as part of its accreditation from the Accreditation Council on Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), is required to “resolve” any reported conflicts of interest prior to the educational program. Therefore, in light of the relationships/affiliations designated by speakers/planners, each speaker/planner has attested::

1. that these relationships/affiliations will not bias or otherwise influence their involvement in the program

2. that practice recommendations given relevant to the companies with whom they have relationships/affiliations will be supported by the best available evidence or, absent evidence, will be consistent with generally accepted medical practice;

3. and, that all reasonable clinical alternatives will be discussed when making practice recommendations;

4. all scientific research referred to, reported or used in support or justification of a patient care recommendation will confirm to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis.
