ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence requires anyone in a position to control the content of this or any CME activity disclose all of his or her financial relationships with any ineligible entity. The ACCME defines an “ineligible entity" as companies that are ineligible to be accredited in the ACCME System. Ineligible companies are those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling or distributing health care products used by or on patients. Failure or refusal to disclose will result in the withdrawal of the invitation to participate in this or any AANS CME activity. Similarly, should the AANS be unable to satisfactorily mitigate an identified conflict of interest, this may result in the withdrawal of the invitation to participate in this or any AANS CME activity.

All presentations must be fair and balanced. All clinical content presented must support safe and effective patient care.

All recommendations for patient care in accredited continuing education must be based on current science, evidence and clinical reasoning, while giving a fair and balanced view of diagnostic and therapeutic options.

All scientific research referred to, reported or used in accredited education in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, analysis and interpretation.

All presentations must be free of marketing or sales of products or services. Faculty must not promote or sell products or services that serve their professional or financial interests during accredited education.

The AANS reserves the right to review and modify presentation slides and topics prior to the 2023 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting to ensure presentations adhere to ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence.
