Ineligible companies: An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. For specific examples of ineligible companies visit this webpage for more information.
There is no minimum financial threshold; we ask that you disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies. You should disclose all financial relationships regardless of the potential relevance of each relationship to the education.

Types of financial relationships you may need to report: Examples include employee, researcher, consultant, advisor, speaker, independent contractor (including contracted research), royalties or patent beneficiary, executive role, and ownership interest). Individual stocks and stock options must be disclosed; diversified mutual funds do not need to be disclosed. Research funding from ineligible companies must be disclosed by the principal or named investigator even if that individual’s institution receives the research grant and manages the funds.
