What should we do if someone asks a leading question during the Q&A session of our accredited CE activity?

Your exact process and procedure to monitor Q&A sessions is largely up to you.  Asking appropriate staff (e.g., moderators, panelists, or trained CE provider staff) to intervene when the discussion veers into risky territory can help to ensure compliance with Standards 1 and 2.  You can’t control the dialogue, but you can remind the audience of your commitment to provide educational opportunities that are fair, balanced and support safe, effective patient care, as well as your refusal to allow commercial bias or marketing into educational discussions.
