Conflict resolution must occur prior to the CME/CE activity. ACHL also requires participating faculty to disclose when unapproved/unlabeled uses of a product are discussed in a CME/CE activity.
This CME activity might describe the off-label, investigational, or experimental use of medications that may exceed their FDA-approved labeling. Physicians should consult the current manufacturers’ prescribing information for these products. ACHL requires the speaker to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion. The provider’s documentation of common practices that make the disclosure requirement known to faculty demonstrates compliance with ACCME guidelines.
