Disclosures


As a provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the American Society of Hematology must ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all of the educational activities it sponsors. All individuals in control of content are expected to disclose any financial relationships with ineligible companies that have occurred within the previous 24 months. Ineligible companies are those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual has such an interest, then they must disclose the name of the ineligible company and nature of the relationship (eg, consultant or grantee). An individual who has no such financial relationship with an ineligible company must declare that they have nothing to disclose. The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent an individual with a significant financial or other relationship from making a presentation, but rather to provide readers with information that they can use to make their own judgments. It remains for the audience to determine whether the individual’s interests or relationships may influence the work with regard to exposition or conclusion.
