MEBN's mission is to provide medical education that is accurate, fair-balanced, unbiased and evidence-based. MEBN strives to ensure that every educational activity maintains independence, objectivity and scientific rigor. All faculty participating in these activities are expected to disclose any (or no) relevant financial interest or other relationship with (1) the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in any educational presentation, and/or (2) with any commercial supporters of an activity. Disclosure of these relationship(s) will be listed prior to any educational activity.

All apparent conflicts of interest have been identified and resolved through MEBN’s independent, peer-review process. Our intent is to assist learners in assessing the potential for bias in information that is presented during the educational activity. The faculty are also aware of their responsibility to inform the audience if discussion of any non-FDA-approved uses of pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, prostheses, etc. will be included in their presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, MEBN staff and writers have no financial relationships with a commercial party to disclose.
