The Medical Society of the State of New York reaffirms its support for the current ACCME Standards for CME and Commercial Support.

The Medical Society of the State of New York supports the position of the AMA and Alliance for CME: that regulations implementing the Physician Payment Sunshine Act assure that manufacturers not be required to report payments made for a program where the topic, the speakers, and educational materials are independently chosen and have no relationship with a manufacturer which might be supporting the CME activity.
