COMMERCIAL SUPPORT DISCLOSURE DESIGN TEMPLATE

6/24/2014

0 Comments

 
Today, the CME Coalition released a proposed design template for the disclosure of commercial support on CME materials. This design template, which is intended as a voluntary guide for use by CME provider organizations, is intended to abide the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education’s (ACCME) ban on the use of corporate logos, while still providing commercial supporter transparency.

In particular, the proposed design, consists of a white rectangular box located in the upper right corner of the material, that is outlined in thin black, with plain black text. The name of the commercial supporter or supporters is identified in bold text.

The specifications used in the examples we have provided are as follows, although this is only offered as an option:
​Image dimensions: w300px, h70px
Text Font: Arial
Copy: 13px
Supporter (single): 20px
Supporter (multiple): tbd based on spacing
​Recently, the ACCME's Board of Directors decided to adopt changes to the Standards for Commercial Support to prohibit the use of commercial interest logos in the acknowledgment of commercial support. Although the CME Coalition took issue with the Board’s decision, it is working hard to ensure that its members, and other stakeholders in the community, meet the new requirements.
