Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

In compliance with the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education set by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), it is the policy of Wills Eye Hospital that the information presented at CME activities will be commercially unbiased and based upon clinical and scientific evidence. To help participants make judgments about the presence of commercial bias, Wills Eye Hospital provides information that all individuals in a position to control the content of a CME activity (including faculty, planners, reviewers or others) have disclosed about all financial relationships they have with ineligible companies. All relevant financial relationships have been mitigated.

Ineligible companies are companies whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. Financial relationships are relevant if the educational content an individual can control is related to the business lines or products of the ineligible company. The CME activity staff at Wills Eye Hospital report no financial relationships with ineligible companies.
