Conflict of Interest Disclosures - Guidelines Panelists

Congratulations on your role in producing AUA’s Clinical Guidelines.  Guideline development is an important driver of the AUA mission and one of the top-rated AUA benefits to its members and urology.  Now that you are involved in the creation of clinical guidelines, there are some things you need to know about how you can do your part to ensure that they are created without bias or the appearance of such.

In this learning module, we will take you through the principles of Conflict of Interest disclosure and mitigation, the different types of financial and intellectual relationships that need to be disclosed, and how the process is designed to maintain objectivity and good faith.
