Accreditation Statement: 

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.

The following faculty or planning committee members have disclosed that they have no relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests related to the content of this educational activity:
