Accreditation Statement & CME Credit - This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint sponsorship of the American College of Surgeons and The Triological Society.  The American College Surgeons is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
The American College of Surgeons designates these educational activities for a maximum of :

	Southern and Middle Sections    12 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
	Eastern Section    10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
	Western Section    7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
American College of Surgeons Division of Education

Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Statement - In compliance with ACCME regulations, the American College of Surgeons, as the accredited provider of this activity, must ensure that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational activity has disclosed all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interest. Members of the program committee were required to disclose all financial relationships and speakers were required to disclose any financial relationship as it pertains to the content of the presentations. ACS defines a "commercial interest" as any proprietary entity producing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on patients.  The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. The ACS considers "relevant" financial relationships as financial transactions (in any amount) occurring within the past 12 months that may create a conflict of interest.

ACS is also required, through our joint sponsorship partners, to manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the activity.  The program committee members (if applicable) and speakers were contacted and the conflicts have been managed to our satisfaction.  However, if you perceive a bias during a session, please report the circumstances on the session evaluation form.

Please note we have advised the speakers that it is their responsibility to disclose at the start of their presentation if they will be describing the use of a device, product, or drug that is not FDA approved or the off-label use of an approved device, product, or drug or unapproved usage.

The requirement for disclosure is not intended to imply any impropriety of such relationships, but simply to identify such relationships through full disclosure, and to allow the audience to form its own judgments regarding the presentation.
