<strong>Orange</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> – Chapter 9: Speaker Programs for HCPs<br />
<strong>Pfizer</strong> cannot provide meals or beverages in connection with the <strong>Pfizer</strong> program. Any meals<br />
provided by a CME provider must be made available to all CE event attendees, including<br />
those not attending the <strong>Pfizer</strong> presentation.<br />
No advice or guidance may be provided regarding the content of the medical education<br />
activity.<br />
No financial or other support, including payment for event expenses or meals, assistance<br />
with setting up logistics or h<strong>and</strong>ling non-<strong>Pfizer</strong> speaker arrangements, may be provided in<br />
connection with the <strong>Pfizer</strong> program (subject to very narrow exception for logistical expenses<br />
discussed below). Financial support may only be funded by an independent medical<br />
education grant requested through <strong>Pfizer</strong>’s Medical Education Grants website. For more<br />
information, see <strong>Orange</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> Chapter 3: Support of External Organizations.<br />
Third-Party Meeting Venues<br />
Q. I have been offered an opportunity to conduct a promotional speaker program<br />
as part of a local medical group’s two-day annual meeting. However, the<br />
meeting venue is a lavish country club <strong>and</strong> I underst<strong>and</strong> that the group is<br />
providing various entertainment activities in connection with the meeting (e.g.,<br />
rounds of golf). May I still conduct the program?<br />
A. Possibly. If <strong>Pfizer</strong> has no control over the venue <strong>and</strong> we are reasonably<br />
comfortable that <strong>Pfizer</strong> can provide an educational presentation segregated<br />
from any entertainment component, this may be acceptable. Please remember<br />
that <strong>Pfizer</strong> cannot support, nor may you participate in, any of the<br />
entertainment activities. Consult with your Regional Attorney for guidance in<br />
these situations.<br />
Meals Provided by Medical Education Organizers During a <strong>Pfizer</strong> Speaker Program<br />
Q. The organizers of the medical education event intend to offer a meal to<br />
attendees during my promotional speaker program. Can I still conduct the<br />
program?<br />
A. Yes. As long as <strong>Pfizer</strong> is not paying for the meal <strong>and</strong> it will be made available to<br />
all event attendees (including those not attending the <strong>Pfizer</strong> presentation), it is<br />
acceptable for the meal to be provided at or during the <strong>Pfizer</strong> program.<br />
