Education Disclaimer

The primary purpose of the AAN Winter Conference is to provide educational programs. Information presented, as well as publications, technologies, products and/or services discussed, are intended to inform attendees about the knowledge, techniques, and experiences of physicians who are willing to share such information with colleagues. A diversity of opinions exists in the medical field, and the view of the program's faculty is offered solely for educational purposes. Faculty members' views represent neither those of the AAN nor constitute endorsement by the AAN. The AAN disclaims any and all liability for all claims which may result from the use of information, publications, products, and/or services discussed at the AAN Winter Conference.

Faculty's Disclosure of Commercial Relationships

Consistent with the AAN and ACCME policies, faculty must disclose any significant financial or other relationship with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) or service(s) discussed in their presentation. This policy is intended to make participants aware of all speakers' financial or other relationship(s), so that attendees may form their own judgments about material discussed during the educational activity. Full disclosure of faculty's commercial relationships will appear in the individual program materials. All faculty must sign an AAN letter of agreement stating explicitly that they understand and will adhere to ACCME and AAN Disclosure Statement guidelines that require full disclosure of commercial relationships, unlabeled use of products, and identification of data sources.

Unlabeled Use Disclosure

The AAN requires all faculty members to disclose if a product is not labeled for the use being discussed or that the product is still investigational. Such disclosures will appear in the individual program materials.
