AGS and GEDC Online Educational Curriculum DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INTERESTS

As an accredited provider of Continuing Medical Education, The American Geriatrics Society continuously strives to ensure that the educational activities planned and conducted by our faculty meet generally accepted ethical standards as codified by the ACCME, the Food and Drug Administration, and the American Medical Association’s Guide for Gifts to Physicians. To this end, we have implemented a process wherein everyone who is in a position to control the content of an educational activity has disclosed to us all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests within the past 12 months as related to the content of their presentations and under which we work to resolve any real or apparent conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest in this particular CME activity have been resolved by having the presentation content independently peer-reviewed before publication by the Section Editors, Editorial Board and the Chief Editors.

The following contributors (and/or their spouses/partners) have reported real or apparent conflicts of interest that have been resolved through a peer review content validation process:
