RESOLUTION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The CHSE has implemented a process to resolve conflict of interest for each CME activity. In order to help ensure content objectivity, independence and fair balance and to ensure that the content is aligned with the interest of the public, CHSE has resolved the conflict by external content review.

Unapproved/Off-Label Use Disclosure

CHSE requires CME faculty to disclose to the participants:

1. When products or procedures being discussed are off-label, unlabeled, experimental, and or investigational (not US Food and Drug Administration [FDA] approved); and
2. Any limitations on the information that is presented, such as data that are preliminary or that represent ongoing research, interim analyses, and/or unsupported opinion.

Faculty may discuss information about pharmaceutical agents that are outside of FDA-approved labeling. This information is intended solely for CME and is not intended to promote off-label use of these medications. If you have questions, contact the medical affairs department of the manufacturer for the most recent prescribing information.

None of the authors discusses off-label uses of any FDA-approved drugs.
