Program Overview - Year one:

Mirroring the academic grand rounds programs, these CME programs combine traditional academic grand rounds with the innovation and convenience of telemedicine. This weekly webinar program, broadcast from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and delivered by top experts in the field, covers a wide range of topics involved with the clinical care of patients with HIV/AIDS.

The one-hour presentations will be designed to be immediately relevant to practicing HIV clinicians and many will be case-based. The final 10 minutes of each one-hour program will consist of a live question and answer period with the presenting faculty member available to answer questions asked by participants who attend in person or via the Internet. These weekly grand rounds programs are intended to provide clinicians with convenient and easily accessible knowledge and clinical skills they need to provide the best medical care for their HIV-positive patients.

Disclosure of Conflict of Interest - Years two & Three:

It is policy at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and ViralEd, Inc. for individuals who are in a position to control the content of an educational activity to disclose to the learners all relevant financial relationships that they have with any commercial interest that provides products or services that may be relevant to the content of this continuing medical education activity. For this purpose we consider relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.
The intent of this policy is not to prevent expert faculty with relevant relationship(s) with commercial interest(s) from involvement in CME, but rather to ensure that Penn CME-certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, are based on valid content, and are independent of control from commercial interests and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information provided to the Penn Office of CME was found to contain relationships that created a conflict of interest relative to the topic of their presentation. In addition, all faculty were instructed to provide balanced, scientifically rigorous and evidence-based presentations.
The staff in the Office of CME at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Rodman Campbell, Mila Kostic, Belinda Rose, and Mindy Pollock Troy), our educational partner ViralEd, Inc. (Richard Gordon, Brian Boyle, MD, JD and Ed Hettman), and the peer reviewer, Zalman Agus, MD, Associate Dean for Continuing Medical Education, have reported that they have no relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests related to the content of this educational activity.
