Policy Summary

Implementation Procedures For Identifying And Resolving Conflicts Of Interest

The American Geriatrics Society is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Professional Education Executive Committee (PEEC) has developed the following implementation procedures to guide the planning process and ensure the quality of each AGS educational activity. The PEEC referenced the overarching AGS Guidelines for Corporate Relationships when developing these implementation procedures.

The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) is a nationwide not-for-profit association of geriatrics health care professionals, research scientists, and other concerned individuals dedicated to improving the health, independence, and quality of life of all older people. The Society, through its Continuing Professional Education Program, seeks to increase the geriatrics expertise of health care professionals who care for older adults by providing high quality educational programs that address topics that are integral to the care of older adults.

Goals

The PEEC has delegated the responsibility for planning educational programming to the planning group that is responsible for that program. The PEEC oversees the work of these groups by reviewing their work at its bi-annual meetings and providing feedback to each group on how to improve its processes and develop content. In general, each group follows these steps when planning CME programs:

The AGS ensures that the following decisions are made free of the control of an ineligible company. The ACCME defines an "ineligible company" as those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. 

The American Geriatrics Society strives to ensure that the information presented in its educational activities is balanced and fair and is not distorted by bias or influence. To this end, we require all planners, authors, presenters, and anyone else who is in a position to control the content of an education activity has disclosed to us all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies within the past 24 months and under which we mitigate relevant financial relationships.

The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) was reaccredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) in 2022, and we are accredited through 2026.  We continuously strive to ensure that the education 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.
