N2 - Continuing medical education (CME) is essential to increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance of health care providers. To keep the content of CME relevant and balanced, conflict of interest (COI) determination and mitigation is essential. While the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education provides oversight and guidelines, each organization that sponsors CME programs has its own protocol for COI. To standardize and simplify the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases' approach to COI, we propose a standardized COI disclosure scoring system for all CME programs to notify the audience of any conflicts and how such conflicts can be mitigated.
