CME activities must address specific, documented, clinically important gaps in physician knowledge, competence, or performance; be documented to be effective at increasing physician knowledge, competence, performance, or outcomes; and conform to the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support. All planners and presenters must disclose commercial and financial relationships pertaining to reproductive medicine. These disclosures were reviewed by the Subcommittee for Standards for Commercial Support of the ASRM CME Committee and the Executive Program Committee, which resolved perceived potential conflicts of interest.
