The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) adheres to the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) Essentials and Guidelines, including the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, and the American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognition Program (ADA CERP) Standards and Procedures in its development and delivery of continuing medical and continuing dental education activities.
It is the policy of AAOMS to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in scientific/educational activities. All faculty and others who participate in the planning and execution of an AAOMS educational activity are required to disclose all commitments to or relationships with industry. This requirement includes relationships with pharmaceutical companies, biomedical device manufacturers or distributors, or others whose products or services may be considered to be related to the subject matter of the scientific/educational activity. The principal intent of requiring disclosure is not to prevent a faculty member with conflicts of interest from making a presentation. Disclosure is required so that course directors may reasonably decide whether to make adjustments in the program and its faculty, and so that participants in the activity may formulate their own judgments regarding the presentation in the light of full disclosure of related information.
All faculty and others who participate in the planning and execution of an AAOMS educational activity have been informed of the AAOMS Policy on Disclosure of Relevant Conflicts of Interest. Faculty who have disclosed industry relationships have been counseled, in writing, of the necessity to deliver their presentations in a manner free of commercial bias. Written notification is made, in accordance with AAOMS Policy, to resolve and relevant conflicts of interest.
The following 2011 AAOMS Coding Workshop: Beyond the Basics faculty have reported that they have no industry relationships to disclose:
Jackson, Dawn W., DrPH, RHIA, CCS-P, FAHIMA
