Scientific Planning Committee Disclosure Statements – 160th HOCBC Conference
In accordance with the document UBC CPD Ethical Standards for Accreditation 2024, Health Officers Council of British Columbia collects from each Scientific Planning Committee member and each content contributor (e.g., speakers, facilitators, authors) a Declaration of Conflict of Interest form, reviews them for any real of perceived conflict of interest, and establishes, when a conflict arises, how to manage such conflict. When a conflict arises for a Scientific Planning Committee member, the Council will mention this explicitly to the conference learners. Content contributors will include any such mention at the beginning of their presentation.
