Disclosure “ AIl speakers must disclose relevant financial interests or other relationship (i.e., grants, research support, consultant fees, honoraria, royalties, ownership interest e.g., stocks, mutual funds) he/she or spouse/partner has or has had with the manufacturer of any commercial product within the past 12 months that may be discussed in the educational presentation. For this purpose we consider the relevant financial relationships of your spouse or partner that you are aware of to be yours.” I have no disclosures except that I do participate in a blog and a podcast that could potentially one day make money if someone came along and paid us to do what we are now doing for nothing. I’m not holding my breath.
