Review of Promotional and Programmatic Materials

The Society requires that all promotional and programmatic materials be submitted to us for review. Promotional materials are reviewed by at least two staff members to insure that these are in compliance with our policies and procedures that rest upon ACCME guidelines for Commercial Support. Programmatic materials are also reviewed by the Program Committee member (or their designee) responsible for a specific symposium and requested changes and comments must be addressed before a program is offered at the meeting. Program Committee members review program materials for fairness and objectivity. They will look specifically for any introduction of bias in favor of any one product or therapeutic option over another. Use of generic names contribute to this impartiality. If trade names are used, those of several companies are used rather than only that of the single supporting company.
