ACCME guidelines mandate that all individuals participating in continuing medical education (CME) activities disclose
any commercial or financial relationships with manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, laboratory supplies or medical devices
and with commercial providers of medically related services and that all potential conflicts of interest be resolved by the
CME Committee. If any of the authors of a video fails to provide complete disclosure information, the video will be
withdrawn from the program.
· Authors: List the presenting author first. Limit the number of authors to six (6) - no exceptions.
Guidelines
· Scientific data may be presented as a scientific abstract (oral or poster) and the corresponding methodology as a video,
however, the two presentations cannot be identical and will be reviewed for duplication. If you wish to submit the data in
both formats, in the online application check "A scientific abstract was also submitted for consideration as a separate oral
or poster presentation. If accepted, the two presentations will not be identical."
· Selection decisions by the Program Committee are final. No changes can be made to the title, authors or body of the
video after submission. No changes can be made as to the date and time of scheduled presentation. Selected videos will
be shown at the meeting in their original format as submitted for review.
