Script for Verbal Disclosure This is a sample script that speakers and instructors can use to verbally disclose their financial relationships and/or mention of non-FDA-approved products. Course directors and moderators can use the script to disclose their own financial relationships and those of their planning group members.
A written handout for attendess with disclosure information for all speakers and program planners can be used instead of verbal disclosure.

This form is to be signed by the course director, confirming that personal financial disclosures were reviewed prior to each session and conflicts of interest were resolved. This form (to be submitted at the end of the approval period) also confirms that disclosures were made to attendees.
