Requirements for Earning Credit and Method of Participation
This online activity consists of an article, a self-assessment exam, and an evaluation. To receive AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and self-assessment credit, participants must watch the webinar, successfully complete the self-assessment exam, and achieve a minimum score of 75% on the exam. The self-assessment exam includes 4 multiple choice questions. Learners will be asked to read each question, select an answer, and review the section of the webinar where the answer is found. Learners will be able to review the content and repeat the self-assessment exam as many times as needed. Upon achieving a score of 75% or higher, learners will be asked to complete a post-activity evaluation. A certificate of credit or participation will be available upon successful submission of the post-activity evaluation.
Estimated Time to Complete Activity
In accordance with the ACCME’s Accreditation Criteria, the Society of Surgical Oncology must ensure that anyone in position to control the content of this educational activity has disclosed all financial relationships with a commercial interest. All educational planners, authors, reviewers, and other individuals in a position to control or influence the content of this activity were required to disclose all financial relationships with any commercial interest that have occurred within the past 12 months. This includes the disclosure of financial relationships of a spouse or partner. The ACCME considers financial relationships to create conflicts of interest when individuals have both a financial relationship with a commercial interest and the opportunity to affect the content of CME about the products or services of that commercial interest. The ACCME defines a commercial interest as “any entity producing, marketing, reselling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients.” ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests.
The ACCME also requires that the Society of Surgical Oncology resolve any reported conflict of interest and ensure the educational content of this activity is vetted for fair balance, scientific objectivity, and appropriateness of patient care recommendations. If you perceive bias while participating in this activity, please advise us of the circumstances when completing your postactivity evaluation form.
