In order to ensure that CME provider entities - both within and outside of the CME Coalition - have “best practices” in place with regard to their treatment of collected learner data, the CME Coalition has provided a suggested privacy policy template for use by its members and the public at-large.
In developing this template policy, the CME Coalition mustered a “Privacy Policy Working Group” from within its ranks and retained the prominent Washington, DC law firm of Arnold & Porter to design a “best practices” template for CME provider companies and organizations to adopt. While many organizations already have excellent privacy policies in place, the CME Coalition is making this template policy available to the public in order to increase widespread adherence to sound privacy policy and to increase physician confidence in the integrity of CME and its providers.
