Author Disclosures:

It is the policy of The George Washington University Medical Center, Office of Continuing Education in the Health Professions to insure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all of its sponsored educational programs. All faculty participating in any activities which are designated for AMA-PRA credits are expected to disclose to the audience any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest that may have a direct bearing on the subject matter of the CME activity. This pertains to relationships with pharmaceutical companies, biomedical device manufacturers, or other corporations whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the presentation topic. The intent of this policy is not to prevent a speaker with a potential conflict of interest from making a presentation. It is merely intended that any potential conflict should be identified openly so that the listeners may form their own judgments about the presentation with the full disclosure of the facts. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker's outside interests may reflect a possible bias in either the exposition or the conclusions presented.
