Faculty Disclosure
It is the policy of Rush University Medical Center and the Office of Interprofessional Continuing Education to ensure that its CE activities are independent, free of commercial bias and beyond the control of persons or organizations with an economic interest in influencing the content of CE. All individuals in control of educational content must disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies in the past 24 months. An ineligible company is an entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. All conflicts of interest, including potential ones, for individuals in control of educational content are mitigated prior to the planning, implementation, or evaluation of the continuing education activity.
The IPCE identifies the presence or absence of relevant financial relationships for all individuals in control of content including but not limited to planning committee members, course directors, invited presenters/authors, and staff through a standardized disclosure form. If a financial relationship is identified for the person in control of content, conflict mitigation strategies will be used to mitigate the financial relationship before they assume their role.
