All presentations must meet the following requirements:
- Be based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning, while giving a fair and balanced view of diagnostic and therapeutic options.
- Use generic names instead of trade names. If trade names are used, the presentation should include trade names from multiple companies to create a balanced view, when appropriate.
- Conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
- Be free of marketing or sales of products or service.
- Slides should not be promotional. They
cannot contain industry backgrounds, advertisements, product promotion, corporate logo(s), trade name(s), device name(s) or product-group message of an ineligible company (any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients). - If showing an image of a product or device, the trade name and logo must be covered over.
- If referring to a product or device name do not include ™ or ®.
- Clearly describe the level of evidence on which the presentation is based and provide enough information about data (study dates, design, etc.) to enable learners to assess research validity.
- Ensure that, if there is a range of evidence, that the credible sources cited present a balanced view of the evidence.
- Address any potential risks or adverse effects that could be caused with any clinical recommendations.
