Disclaimer<br />
The primary purpose of the Annual Meeting is to meet the<br />
educational needs of its members and address practice gaps by<br />
providing practice-oriented and scientifically based educational<br />
activities that will maintain and advance competence and<br />
performance in the field of neurology.<br />

the Annual Meeting faculty do not represent those of the AAN/<br />
AANI or constitute endorsement by the AAN/AANI. The AAN/AANI<br />
disclaims any and all liability for the claims that may result from the<br />
use or nonuse of information, publications, therapies, and/or services<br />
discussed at the Annual Meeting.<br />

Relationship Disclosure and Conflict of Interest<br />
Resolution<br />
According to AANI and ACCME policies, everyone who is in a<br />
position to control the content of an education activity must disclose<br />
financial relationships with any commercial interest to the provider.<br />
An individual who refuses to disclose relevant financial relationships<br />
is disqualified from being a planning committee member, a teacher,<br />
or an author of CME, and cannot have control of, or responsibility for,<br />
the development, management, presentation or evaluation of the<br />
CME activity. In addition, the AANI must implement a mechanism<br />
to identify and resolve all conflicts of interest prior to the education<br />
activity being delivered to learners. The resolution of conflict is<br />
handled by the Education and Science Committees. Disclosures for<br />
everyone in the position to control Annual Meeting content can be<br />
found on the AAN Annual Meeting website. In addition, education<br />
and science faculty disclosures can also be found in the syllabi, slides,<br />
handouts, and/or are given verbally from the podium.<br />
Unlabeled Use Disclosure<br />
The AANI requires all Annual Meeting presenters to disclose if a<br />
therapy/product is not labeled for the use being discussed or if the<br />
therapy/product is still investigational. Unlabeled use disclosures can<br />
be found in the program materials.<br />
Grants<br />
Some Annual Meeting education and scientific programs are<br />
supported in part by educational grants from commercial entities.<br />
Disclosure of the educational grant is done through acknowledgment<br />
statements on the program materials, signs outside of the room, and<br />
verbally from the podium. Although educational grants are received,<br />
all programs are developed and implemented solely by the Education<br />
Committee and Science Committee. The terms, conditions, and<br />
purposes of the commercial support are documented in a written<br />
agreement between the AANI and commercial supporter. The AAN<br />
uses grant funds to support and enhance existing, as well as new,<br />
education programs.<br />
