The toolkit outlines practical steps, including templates, worksheets, guidance, examples of learner disclosure language, sample peer review tools, and a sample letter for planners and faculty. It also includes specific guidance on disclosure requirements when commercial support is received, emphasizing clear, verifiable communication to learners before education.","Toolkit for the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education\nThe ACCME is pleased to provide this toolkit of resources to assist accredited providers in transitioning to the new Standards for Integrity and Independence. For this initial collection of tools, we have focused on Standard 1: Ensure Content is Valid and Standard 3: Identify, Mitigate, and Disclose Relevant Financial Relationships. These two standards are applicable to all accredited providers. Use of these resources is completely optional. Many accredited providers have their own policies, procedures, forms, and mechanisms to facilitate the planning and delivery of accredited education—as you review your own practices, you may wish to check them against these resources to ensure you are positioned to meet expectations.\nWe look forward to working with the continuing education community to create and refine additional tools, as necessary. As always, we remain available for questions and assistance! Contact us at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:info@accme.org\" \u0014info@accme.org\u0015.\nContents of the Toolkit:\nPage 2.
