The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent a participant with significant financial or other relationship from making a presentation, but rather to provide participants with adequate information to make their own judgments.

Conflict of Interest
The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) is a provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and is required to identify and resolve all potential conflicts of interest with any individual (or their spouse/partner) in a position to influence and/or control CME activities. A conflict of interest will be considered to exist if the individual has received financial benefits (e.g., grants, research support, honoraria, employee, consultant, board of directors, stockholder) in any amount from a commercial interest (any propriety entity producing health care goods or services consumed by, or used, on patients) within the past 12 months and that individual is in a position to affect the content of CME regarding the products or services of the commercial interest.

All individuals in a position to influence and/or control the content of AOSSM sponsored CME activities are required to disclose to the AOSSSM and subsequently to learners that the individual either has no relevant financial relationship or any financial relationship with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or providers of commercial services discussed in CME activities. All disclosure information provided to AOSSM will be reviewed to ensure that no conflicts of interest exist prior to the confirmation of the individual for the educational assignment. Additional information may be requested. It is the responsibility of the individual to notify AOSSM of any changes in the disclosure information provided since the submission of this AOSSM Full Disclosure Statement Form.
