ACCME Accreditation Guidelines for Posters and PowerPoint Presentations

As an accredited provider of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), CNS must ensure that all CME programs are in compliance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education.

Please Note: Your poster and/or presentation slides will be reviewed for ACCME compliance. 

Below are lists of faculty/ speaker guidelines to assist you in developing the highest quality educational content and materials. These guidelines also ensure compliance to the CNS’ CME Policies.

• Disclosure Slide- You do not need to include a disclosure slide in your presentation. An official list of relevant financial disclosures will be created based on the information submitted at the time you accepted the invitation for the 2022 CNS Annual Meeting. If a previously reported financial relationship has changed, please email education@cns.org.
• HIPPA Compliance- All individually identifiable health information regarding a client or patient must be sufficiently edited or modified to ensure HIPPA compliance.
