What You Can Do For Us

To ensure worry-free preparation of presentations, DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance asks its faculty to:

Submit slide presentation and handouts to DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance by Friday, Sept. 10, 2010. The conference is a paperless meeting and presentations will be shared with attendees online prior to the conference. Do not make changes to your presentation after Sept. 10, as attendees look forward to receiving your final presentation.

To minimize commercialism, faculty members must use the official Forum PowerPoint template for presentations. Company logos are only permitted on the first and last slides of PowerPoint presentations. Failure to use the official Forum PowerPoint template for every slide of a presentation will jeopardize future acceptance of proposals from your organization.

No Commercials, Please

Presentations must be free of commercial content or endorsement. Should a presentation be identified as being commercial, the presenter will not be invited back.

The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) expects that the content or format of CME/CNE/CPE activities and related materials will promote improvements in quality of health care and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest.

Therefore, during your presentation, please adhere to the following three important points:

CME/CNE/CPE must give a balanced view of therapeutic options. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality. Avoid the use of trade names if at all possible. If your CME/CNE/CPE educational material or content includes trade names, trade names from several companies should be used where available, not just trade names from a single company.
To ensure the best interests of the public, it is important to utilize and reference the best available evidence, when preparing your presentation.
No advertising is allowed on any slides or materials. Remove company names from slides and materials; for example, if they run along the bottom of a slide. Only direct references to the data being shown may run along the bottom of the slides.

Your presentation should also be compliant with the ACCME/WNA(ANCC)/ACPE content validation statements, which are:

All the recommendations involving clinical medicine in a CME/CNE/CPE activity [are] based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients.
All scientific research referred to, reported or used in CME/CNE/CPE in support or justification of a patient care recommendation [conforms] to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis.
Don't discuss "off-label" uses without saying that it's an off-label situation.
