In accordance with policies set forth by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), University of Kentucky UK HealthCare CECentral (UKHCCEC) requires all faculty members and spouses/significant others with an opportunity to affect the content of a continuing education activity to disclose any relevant financial relationships during the past 12 months with commercial interests. A commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling or distributing health care goods or services consumed by or used on patients. Relationships with commercial interests and conflicts of interest resulting from those relationships must be revealed to the audience and resolved prior to the activity.
Relevant relationships include roles such as speaker, author, consultant, independent contractor (including research), employee, investor, advisory committee member, board member, review panelist, and investigator. If a potential speaker or author indicates a possible conflict of interest, the conflict will be resolved by choosing another speaker or author for that topical area, or the slides, handouts, and/or monograph will be reviewed and approved by a qualified commercially-disinterested peer.
Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or condone any bias in any presentation, but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of a presentation.

This activity is jointly sponsored by the University of Kentucky and HealthmattersCME.



 This activity is supported by independent educational grants from Gilead Sciences Medical Affairs and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
