SECTION I: DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
MICNP/AANP adopts the ACCME definition of commercial interest which is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. By definition, this does not include most non-profit organizations (non-profit organizations that advocate for commercial interest are not eligible for MICNP/AANP accreditation), government organizations, or non-health care organizations. MICNP/AANP does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. A commercial interest is not eligible for MICNP/AANP accreditation.
MICNP/AANP considers financial relationships (in the preceding 12 months) to create conflicts of interest in continuing education (CE) when individuals have both the opportunity to influence the content of a CE activity and have a financial relationship with a commercial interest. MICNP/AANP requires anyone in control of the CE content to disclose any financial relationships with commercial interest of their own and/or their spouse/partner in the preceding 12 months.

SECTION IV: COMPLIANCE WITH MICNP/AANP ACCREDIATION POLICY
(This section MUST be completed; please click on each text box and type/insert your initials for each statement below indicating you have read, understand, and are willing to comply)
I attest that the CE content for which I am responsible will be evidence-based, fair and balanced, unbiased, and free from commercial interest control.
No promotional activities may occur during CE events. This includes distribution of product brochures or product information in conjunction with the educational activity or handouts. No slides or handouts developed by a commercial interest may be used during presentations. I agree to not promote any specific proprietary or commercial business interest in my role as faculty/speaker.
I understand that an employee of a commercial interest may NOT serve as a faculty or planner of CE accredited by MICNP/AANP if the educational content that the employee controls relates to the products and/or services of the commercial interest employer. If the content DOES NOT relate to the products and/or services of the commercial interest employer, the employee may be eligible to serve as speaker or planner, but the educational content must be reviewed (should be sent with the application) before approval of CE credit will be considered.
I understand that if I serve on a Speakers’ Bureau for the same clinical area as the education activity I plan to provide, and for which accreditation is being requested, my educational activity material(s) must be submitted for a full independent review at the time of the application submission before approval for CE credit will be considered.
I understand that if I engage in a financial relationship with a commercial interest after the CE program has been granted MICNP/AANP accreditation, but before the educational activity has been implemented/delivered, I must alert MICNP and provide a new disclosure form. A second review for approval will become necessary before the activity can be delivered.
I understand that if changes are made to my educational presentation/material(s) after the CE program has been granted MICNP/AANP accreditation, but before the educational activity has been implemented/delivered, I must alert MICNP and provide information/documentation on the changes. A second review for approval will become necessary before the activity can be delivered.
If I have indicated a financial relationship or interest, I understand that this information will be reviewed to determine whether a conflict of interest may exist, and I may be asked to provide additional information.
I understand that failure to disclose, false disclosure, or inability to resolve conflicts of interest will require MICNP to identify a replacement or not offer CE credit for this activity.
