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.
