SAFEGUARDS AGAINST COMMERCIAL BIAS
Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and AXIS affirm that the content and format of the CME activities and related materials promote improvements and quality in healthcare and do not promote a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial entity. To this end, Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and AXIS employ several strategies to ensure the absence of commercial bias, including, but not limited to, review of all planned content for CME activities jointly sponsored by Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and AXIS to ensure adherence to the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education's content validation statements, and resolution of any actual or perceived conflicts of interest that exist. We employ three metrics as we review materials:
- Fair balance
- Recommendations or emphasis must fairly represent and be based on a reasonable and valid interpretation of the information available on the subject matter
- No single product or service is overrepresented when other equal competing products or services are available for inclusion
- Scientific objectivity of studies mentioned in the materials or used as the basis for content
- Appropriateness of patient care recommendations made to learners
