Can providers pay some of the expenses of people who are both faculty and learners?
Yes. CME providers need to be sure that these people have bona fide teaching roles. In the United States, physician learners are not to be given compensation or reimbursement for attending CME activities (see Opinion 9.2.6 of the Code of Medical Ethics: Professional self-regulation, of the American Medical Association). It is unacceptable for anyone other than the Provider, or its agents, to receive direct financial benefit from commercial support.
