There's no need to include a disclosure to learners for a faculty member with no relevant financial relationships, right?
Wrong. The ACCME requires that providers disclose both the presence AND absence of relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies. You need to formally state this for your learner, i.e., "The following individuals have no relevant financial relationships to disclose..."
Do I need to replace an individual that has relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies?
Not necessarily. Depending on the individual's specific role, there are various mitigation tactics you can use to ensure the individual doesn't weave commercial bias into accredited CE content. Effective approaches can include a peer review of planning decisions, an independent content review, a formal reminder of policies and instructions, or limiting the individual's role. Replacement is a last resort.
