SPECIAL ARTICLE
An Overview of Current Guidelines for Commercial Support of Continuing Medical Education
R. Van Harrison, PhD
A b s t r a c t
Concern about commercial companies inappropriately influencing CME activities has resulted in the development of several new sets of interrelated guidelines concerning commercial support for CME. National guidelines have been produced by the Task Force on CME Provider-Industry Collaboration, the AMA, the AAMC, the ACCME, the PMA, and the FDA. The various sets of guidelines each apply to different constituencies: accrediting bodies, institutions accredited to provide CME, academic faculty who present CME, physicians who attend CME, and commercial companies who support CME. The guidelines have been developed in coordination with each other, providing interrelated guidance for all constituencies involved in commercially supported CME.
