*Bias is defined as preferential influence that causes a distortion of opinion or facts. Commercial bias may occur when an educational activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc). This definition is not all inclusive, and participants may use their own interpretation in deciding whether a presentation is biased.
NOTE: statements of commercial support and/or conflict of interest disclosures do not represent bias. Such statements inform the learner that the provider has implemented a mechanism to identify and resolve all conflicts of interest prior to delivery of the educational material.
