Subject: Michigan Medicine CME Educational Planner - Confirmation & Instructions

Dear PLANNER NAME,

This email serves as confirmation of your assignment as the Educational Planner for the upcoming CME activity, ACTIVITY TITLE. The Educational Planner is the individual who assumes primary responsibility for the educational planning, content delivery, and financial oversight of the activity. Please review the Planning Guide if you have any questions regarding your role.

Action Item: Disclose Your Financial Relationships

Before the application for CME credit can be submitted for review, the Educational Planner (along with any other co-planners) must provide information regarding the presence (or absence) of financial relationships with commercial companies whose products or services might be discussed during their planning or presentations (i.e., their conflicts of interest). This process is managed online through via MiCME.

Please follow the steps below to provide information regarding your own financial relationships now:

Review the Managing Conflicts of Interest section in the Planning Guide for information on what creates a conflict of interest.
Login to your MiCME account using the UM Level-1 Sign In.
Select Dashboard --> Important Actions --> Complete Required Forms
In the Financial Relationships section, complete the My Financial Relationships form. Relationships entered here will be saved for all subsequent CME activities to which you are assigned over the next 12 months. The form be updated at any time as relationships change.

Note: M-Inform data previously entered by University of Michigan faculty will automatically populate the My Financial Relationships form. Any updates or changes must be made directly in M-Inform via the link provided on the form, and will appear in MiCME once refreshed.

Finally, in the Conflicts of Interest section, complete the Conflict of Interest (COI) Identification Tool to let us know which (if any) of your relationships are relevant to your role as planner. All Conflicts of Interest will be managed within MiCME by the COI Manager.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office if we can be of further assistance.
