CSPM requires annual Conflict of Interest (COI) disclosures from all Board and Committee members under our approved COI Policy. This upholds transparency and good governance to ensure unbiased decision-making.
Conflict of interest: A conflict of interest is a set of conditions in which judgment or decisions concerning a primary interest (example a patients’ welfare, the validity of research and/or quality of medical education) is unduly influenced by a secondary interest (personal or organizational benefit including financial gain, academic or career advancement, or other benefits to family, friends, or colleagues).
Perceived conflict of interest: A perceived conflict of interest is the appearance of a conflict of interest as judged by outside observers, regardless of whether an actual conflict of interest exists
Real conflict of interest: A real conflict of interest is when two or more interests are indisputably in conflict.
For each category, list the name(s) of the organization(s) and briefly describe the relationship.
