Should we be collecting financial disclosures on an annual basis or at the time of the activity creation?
The ACCME leaves this choice up to the provider - collection of disclosure information during activity planning or on a regular/periodic basis. If a provider elects to collect disclosure periodically, it is important that they ask the individual to update the disclosure if/when anything changes.
Because of the pandemic, we are offering more virtual activities: How should these activities be reported in PARS?
It depends on the activity type, actually. Activities where the learners participate in "real-time", like an interactive webinar, will need to be reported in PARS as "Internet Live Courses". However, "Internet Activity Enduring Material" activities have content that are accessible online at any time for the learner.
