Essential Area 3: Administration
Element 3.2
Operate the business and management policies
and procedures of its CME program (as they relate to human resources,
financial affairs, and legal obligations) so that its obligations and
commitments are met.
A CME unit need not develop their own policy
manual, although some institutions find it helpful. The Table of
Contents from the parent organization's manual of business and
management policies may be submitted. A CME unit must have some of its
own policies and standards in order to 'conduct business'. Those
policies and forms include: Standards for Commercial Support, Faculty
Disclosure of Relationships with Industry and Joint Sponsorship, Letter
of Agreement and other policies as outlined in Element 3.1. A
provider must have a mechanism to resolve potential faculty conflicts of
interest.
