Restrictions
You can use MKSAP 16 Digital to submit for CME, MOC, and CPD only if you are an individual subscriber who has purchased MKSAP 16 Digital from an ACP or an authorized distributor. Please email mksap_editors@acponline.org if you have any questions. Your subscription is not transferable to other users. Sharing your subscription will compromise the security of your confidential CME, MOC, and CPD history, undermine your account billing, and disrupt tracking of your CME, MOC, and CPD records. The ACP disclaims all responsibility and liability for any improper or unauthorized use of an individual's order.
If you are an ACP member, a transcript of your participation in MKSAP 16 and all other ACP-sponsored CME activities is available online as a benefit of your ACP membership. The online listing at http://www.acponline.org/education_recertification/cme/transcript/ compiles all CME credits that you have earned during the past 6 years. Records will be updated 6 to 8 weeks after receipt of documentation of your participation in ACP-sponsored activities.
Disclosure Policy
It is the policy of the American College of Physicians (ACP) to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all its educational activities. To this end, and consistent with the policies of the ACP and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), contributors to all ACP continuing medical education activities are required to disclose all relationships with any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. Contributors are required to use generic names in the discussion of therapeutic options and are required to identify any unapproved, off-label, or investigative use of commercial products or devices. Where a trade name is used, all available trade names for the same product type are also included. If trade-name products manufactured by companies with whom contributors have relationships are discussed, contributors are asked to provide evidence-based citations in support of the discussion. The information is reviewed by the committee responsible for producing this text. If necessary, adjustments to topics or contributors' roles in content development are made to balance the discussion. Further, all readers of this text are asked to evaluate the content for evidence of commercial bias so that future decisions about content and contributors can be made in light of this information.
Resolution of Conflicts
To resolve all conflicts of interest and influences of vested interests, the ACP precluded members of the content-creation committee from deciding on any content issues that involved generic or trade-name products associated with proprietary entities with which these committee members had relationships. In addition, content was based on best evidence and updated clinical care guidelines, when such evidence and guidelines were available. Contributors' disclosure information can be found with the list of committees and those of ACP principal staff listed in this document.
