CME Accreditation Policies
Abstract presentations will be CME accredited, and it is therefore essential that they be free from commercial influence. References to particular commercial products must use their generic name or be balanced by referring to other similar products.
Disclosures
Please note that all E-Posters must include a slide listing of all the author(s)' financial disclosures.

Product Name Use Policy
SRS strongly prefers that pharmaceuticals and proprietary software/databases as well as surgical approaches or specific instrumentation such as “Surgimap, MIMICS, EOS Imaging, ROTEM, Isola, TSRH, CD, XLIF, DLIF, AxiaLIF, Solera, Vertex, Expedium, Mountaineer, Shilla, VEPTR etc.,” are not used in presentations. These terms should be replaced by a generic term or description of the drug, software/database and/or instrumentation or technique unless the use of the term directly impacts learners’ understanding of the presentation or data. Instrumentation may also be referred to when the device name is a landmark system that is no longer sold (i.e. Harrington, Cotrel-Dubousset, Luque).
Company names and logos must never be used in a presentation (including in images.)
It is recognized that studies evaluating a device or devices or comparing different devices or techniques may require the use of product or technique names. If a device trade name or industry developed technique using a trademarked name are used in an abstract or presentation, it will be specifically reviewed by the CME Committee for evaluation of any potential conflict of interest.When there is a known potential conflict of interest, an expanded verbal disclosure will be necessary at the time of presentation. Furthermore, if a product name is mentioned, the audience should be informed of why it is necessary to give the name.
Please notify us at [email protected] if you plan to use a product name in your presentation.
Invitation and Confirmation
All podium presenters must confirm their participation by accepting their invitation(s) in the Dekon Speaker Management site by May 15, 2019.
Final Program Book
E-Poster abstracts will be published in the scientific program book as submitted. Any corrections that need to be made to the title or author listing should be sent to [email protected] by June 1, 2019. SRS cannot make edits or additions to the abstract text. Also, authors may only be added to an abstract if they have an existing author account in the abstract submission system and a completed COI Disclosure Form.
