Financial Disclosures

The COPHy EU Congress seeks to balance the important benefits of physician-industry relationships with the potential risk that the financial goals of the industry may conflict with the professional goals of COPHy EU participants. In doing so, the COPHy EU Congress recognizes that it has a profound duty to its participants, the larger medical community and the public to ensure the integrity of all of its scientific, educational, and advocacy activities and materials.

Educational Content Development

The COPHy EU Congress requires all program members and any others in a position to control the educational content to disclose any commercial financial interests prior to the development of the educational content. A process of resolution of conflict of interest is used for those members who do have financial interests related to the development of the content.

Presenters

The COPHy EU Congress considers financial relationships to create actual conflicts of interest when Presenters or their immediate family (defined as spouse, domestic partner, parent, child or spouse of child, or sibling or spouse of sibling of the Presenter) have both a financial relationship with a commercial interest and the opportunity to affect the policy of the COPHy EU Congress of CME about the products or services of that commercial interest. The potential for Presenter to maintaining or increasing the value of the financial relationship with the commercial interest creates an incentive to influence the content of the CME – an incentive to insert commercial bias. All presenters of CME content should familiarize themselves with the policy of the COPHy EU Congress of CME based on the CME provider of the Congress – the EACCME (http://www.eaccme.AA/uemspdf/UEMS-2012-30.pdf ). All COPHy Faculty presenting CME are required to disclose to the activity audience the following information prior to beginning their presentation: . Any relevant financial relationships a CME presenter has had with manufacturers of commercial ophthalmic products or providers of commercial ophthalmic services within the past 12 months. The COPHy Congress defines "relevant" financial relationships as those with a commercial ophthalmic interest and the opportunity to affect the content of CME about the products or services of that commercial ophthalmic interest . CME presenters who report they have no known relevant financial relationships to disclose will declare "No Financial Relationships"

NOTE: All presenters are required to report financial disclosures, using the codes below. An individual's financial disclosures for the 5th COPHy EU Congress meeting are listed in this Section.
