Presentation Details

Approximately one-hour presentation will discuss ethical issues related to conflicts of interest. What are the drivers that lead us into conflicts of interest and when do conflicts rise to the level of an ethics violations? A review of case studies will explore when conflicts of interest should be disclosed, when they violate ethical and professional standards, why perception can matter as much as reality, and why this is an important and relevant topic for the profession.
