Accreditation
The Southern Thoracic Surgical Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The STSA designates this activity for a maximum of 19.75 category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award. Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she actually devoted to the activity.
Disclosure Policy
The STSA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The STSA requires that any individual who makes a presentation at a program, or presents a paper for publication, in any forum supported or sponsored in any way by STSA must disclose any material financial or other relationships that may pose conflicts of interest.* This requirement is intended neither to imply any impropriety of such relationships nor to prejudice any individual presenter or author. It is merely to identify such relationships through full disclosure, and to allow the audience to form its own judgments regarding the presentation or paper.
Additionally, disclosure must be made if the presentation or paper describes (a) the use of a device, product, or drug that is not FDA-approved or (b) an off-label use of an approved device, product, or drug. This requirement has been adopted in response to FDA policy and recent case law involving medical societies, and is not intended to prohibit or inhibit independent presentation or discussion regarding the uses of devices, products, and drugs as described at (a) and (b) above.
