disclOsure Of finAnciAl relAtiOnshiPs 

And resOlutiOn Of cOnflicts Of interest 

The AAP Policy on Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution 

of Conflicts of Interest is designed to ensure quality, objective, balanced, 

and scientifically rigorous AAP CME activities. All individuals in a 

position to influence and/or control the content of AAP CME activities 

are required to disclose to the AAP and subsequently to learners that 

they either have no relevant financial relationships or any financial 

relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) 

and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in CME activities. 

All potential conflicts of interest are identified and resolved prior to an 

individual’s confirmation of service at an AAP CME activity. Beyond 

disclosure of financial relationships, AAP CME faculty are required 

to disclose to the AAP and to learners when they plan to discuss or 

demonstrate pharmaceuticals and/or medical devices and/or medical 

or surgical procedures that involve “off-label” use of a device or 

pharmaceutical. The AAP is committed to providing learners with 

commercially unbiased CME activities. 

The content of these CME activities does not necessarily reflect the 

views or policies of the AAP.

Part international glamour, part tropical ease, Paradise Island is 685 acres of extraordinary 

beauty linked by bridges to New Providence Island and Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. 

This bustling island pair offers a mixture of attractions – fine dining, fresh fish markets, water sports, and 

boutique shopping. English is spoken here and American currency is welcome. Nassau/Paradise Island 

brings families together. Even parents begin acting like children themselves. It’s easy when surrounded by an 

incredible number of things to do as a family, including beaches, water parks, snorkeling, dolphins, and trips 

to an underwater world. Some of the many activities on the water include diving, swimming with dolphins, 

fishing, sailing, sunset cruises, kite boarding, and power boating to cays and private islands. While on land, 

you can visit downtown Nassau for shopping on Bay Street or, for high-end, duty-free luxuries, at the Straw 

Market. Take a horse-and-buggy tour of downtown to see historic Balcony House, Pompey Museum, the 

National Art Gallery, and the changing of the guard at Government House. Visit Arawak Cay for a genuine 

Bahamian-style lunch with fresh seafood and cold drinks. Take the kids to the Ardastra Zoo and Gardens 

to see the Marching Flamingos and to the Pirates of Nassau museum. When the night sets in, you can visit 

one of the hot dance clubs or casinos, or find a more laid back bar for relaxation and conversation. For more 

information, go to www.bahamas.com and www.atlantis.com.
