The ACCME states “the owners and employees of ineligible companies are considered to have unresolvable financial relationships and must be excluded from participating as planners or faculty, and must not be allowed to influence or control any aspect of the planning, delivery, or evaluation of accredited continuing education, except in the limited circumstances outlined in Standard 3.2.” Therefore, ASE declares that no employees/owners of an ineligible company may present in ASE CME accredited sessions. This policy is applicable to abstract authors and presenters.
