If we host clinical cases on social media, can we also protect learners from industry promotions?
It is possible, yes! One previous successful example involved beginning the conversation with a post that requests any and all employees and/or owners of ineligible companies to leave or to identify themselves and not engage in activity or conversation related to the products or services of their company.
If we want to post our CE activity online, what ACCME Standards should we keep in mind?
All of them, of course! But pay special attention to Standards 2 and 5, specifically. Ensure:
- that you have the permission of the faculty to post their material on an online platform,
- that learners do not encounter product-specific marketing in the education, and,
- that the identity and personal information of the learners is not tracked or shared without the consent of the learners.
