CONTENT VALIDATION AND DISCLOSURES

Research To Practice is committed to providing its learners with high-quality, unbiased and state-of-the-art education. We assess potential conflicts of interest with faculty, planners and managers of CME activities. Real or apparent conflicts of interest are identified and resolved by a peer review content validation process. The content of each activity is reviewed by both a member of the scientific staff and an independent member of the target audience for fair balance, scientific objectivity of studies referenced and patient care recommendations.

In addition, the following faculty (and their spouses/partners) have reported real or apparent conflicts of interest that have been resolved through a peer review process:

Dr Ellis — Grants/Research Support and Consultant: ImClone Systems; Honorarium: Amgen Inc, Genentech BioOncology, Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
