In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence, the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES) requires anyone in a position to affect or control continuing education content (e.g., authors, presenters, and program planners) to disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies. It is the responsibility of ADCES to mitigate and disclose all relevant conflicts of interest. Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or condone bias in any presentation but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of the presentation.
Relevant disclosures (or lack thereof) among education activity planners and faculty are as follows:
Speaker disclosures:
- Deborah D’Souza Vaziran, DrPH, MHSA – No relevant financial relationships to report
- Paul Enlow, PhD – No relevant financial relationships to report
- Rodney La Point, MSNEd, RN – No relevant financial relationships to report
- Carrie Matuzsan, LSW, CDCES – No relevant financial relationships to report
- Eleni Sheehan, APRN, FNP-BC, CDCES – No relevant financial relationships to report
- Crystal C. Woodward, MPS – No relevant financial relationships to report
Planners:
- Sara M. Bluhm, MSM – No relevant financial relationships to report
- Aimee Hastings, MSN, RN, NCSN, CDCES – No relevant financial relationships to report
Disclosure and Mitigation of Relevant Conflicts of Interest: All identified relevant financial relationships have been mitigated.
