Faculty Financial Disclosure Information
It is the policy of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all sponsored educational activities. All faculty participating in any MDS sponsored activities are required to disclose to the activity audience any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest that may have a direct bearing on the subject matter of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) activity. This pertains to relationships with pharmaceutical companies, biomedical device manufacturers, or other corporations whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the presentation topic. The intent of this policy is not to prevent a speaker with a potential conflict of interest from making a presentation. It is merely intended that any potential conflict should be identified openly so that the listeners may form their own judgments about the presentation with the full disclosure of the facts. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker's outside interest may reflect a possible bias in either the exposition or the conclusions presented.

All those who had control of content for this Congress have provided their financial disclosure information  on the International Congress website located at this link and it will be available in  Vancouver at the MDS booth.
