ACCME Accreditation Guidelines for Presentations
NANS is the accredited provider and must ensure that Annual Meeting presentations comply with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education.
Please review the following to ensure compliance:
Important Presentation Instructions
A disclosure slide SHOULD NOT be included in the presentation. As an ACCME requirement, NANS will provide an official list of relevant financial disclosures to learners prior to the meeting. This list is based on the disclosure information submitted when faculty accept the invitation to participate.
If there are any changes to your disclosure, please contact the education team at [email protected].
Standard 1: Ensure Content is Valid
- Presentations must give a balanced view of therapeutic options. All recommendations for patient care must be based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning.
- Scientific research must conform to generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation.
- Include citations and reference information about any data presented (study dates, design, etc.). New and evolving topics must be clearly identified in the presentation slides.
- Present topics without advocating for, or promoting practices that are not, or not yet adequately based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning.
Standard 2: Prevent Commercial Bias and Marketing in Accredited Continuing Education
- Faculty must not promote or sell products or services that serve their professional or financial interest during accredited education. Please review NANS Policy on Financial Relationships with Ineligible Companies.
- Presentations must be free of commercial bias for or against any company, product, drug, or device.
