Disclosure Management

IPEG Policy on Disclosing Financial Relationships with Ineligible Companies (formerly "Commercial Interests") and Managing Conflicts of Interest

IPEG must ensure balance and independence in all of its accredited educational activities.

**NEW** The ACCME expects individuals involved with CME to disclose ALL financial relationships with ineligible company in the past 24 months. An ineligible company is defined by the ACCME as:

“those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.”

Examples of such organizations include:

  • Advertising, marketing, or communication firms whose clients are ineligible companies
  • Bio-medical startups that have begun a governmental regulatory approval process
  • Compounding pharmacies that manufacture proprietary compounds
  • Device manufacturers or distributors
  • Diagnostic labs that sell proprietary products
  • Growers, distributors, manufacturers or sellers of medical foods and dietary supplements
  • Manufacturers of health-related wearable products
  • Pharmaceutical companies or distributors
  • Pharmacy benefit managers
  • Reagent manufacturers or sellers

The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be ineligible companies. There is no minimum threshold; we ask that you disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies. You no longer need to disclose for your spouse/partner.

Please indicate if you have any relationships with industry to disclose. If you answer "Yes" to the below, we will need to collect the company information on the next step.

IPEG Stands with Ukraine

The Executive Committee of the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group condemns the military actions by the Russian Government in the Ukraine. This attack on a sovereign nation is not consistent with the values and principles of IPEG and the international medical community. As an international organization dedicated to enhancing child health through education and access to minimally invasive surgery for all children of the world, we stand in solidarity with our Ukrainian friends, colleagues, children, and people.
