CME Coalition Submits Comments to Senate Aging Committee Roundtable on Sunshine Act

9/12/2012

 
Today, the Senate Special Committee on Aging held a roundtable titled "Let the Sunshine in: Implementing the Physician Payments Sunshine Act." The CME Coalition was asked to provide comments to the Committee, in which we expressed our concern that the Sunshine Act's reporting requirements for physicians participating in accredited CME activities will create the stigma that there is bias in these courses, and that their participation is somehow inappropriate. This discernment - substantiated by a recent poll of over 500 physicians - would lead to a chilling effect on participation in CME events, which doctors rely on to remain up-to-date on the latest technologies in their field.
Comments available here and below.
