What does the ACCME mean by nature of the relationship related to providing disclosure to learners in Standard for Independence and Integrity 3.5c?
The nature of the relationship means the role they play or service they provide in exchange for some form of compensation from an ineligible company (e.g., independent contractor including contracted research, consulting, promotional speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels and board membership). ACCME has not set a minimum dollar amount for relationships to be disclosed. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship therefore the dollar value of the relationship does not need to be disclosed.
