CONTENT VALIDATION AND DISCLOSURES
Research To Practice is committed to providing its participants 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 external, independent reviewer for fair balance, scientific objectivity of studies referenced and
patient care recommendations.

review of content for educational activities and report the following real or apparent conflicts of interest
