Dear Colleague,
The role of industry in in funding CME activities, although firmly established,
is increasingly controversial.
In a recently published article in Academic Medicine (January 2010), Cleveland Clinic authors analyzed information from
the CME activity database (346 CME
activities; 95,429
participants in 2007)
to obtain evidence of
whether industry support of CME affects
perceptions of commercial bias in the presentations.
No published studies have addressed the
relationship between commercial support
and perceived bias in accredited CME
activities.
The data support the supposition that a CME provider with established procedural guidelines that
comply with ACCME
Standards for Commercial Support can
ensure that commercial funding does not
affect the perception of commercial bias in an activity.
Across a wide range of types of CME
activities, no difference in commercial
bias was found between those programs
with and without industry support.
