ASGE Assurance to High Level Scientific Evidence

ASGE is committed to our learners on the value it
puts into the highest level of scientific rigor, researchbased
evidence and practicality in clinical use provided
throughout each of our educational activities. Faculty
members are carefully selected for their content
expertise, teaching excellence and neutrality on the topic
being presented.
ASGE requires all content experts, committee members
and staff planners who are in a position to control any
aspect of content of an educational activity, to disclose
all relevant financial relationships with any commercial
interests. Relevant financial relationships are defined
as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or

educational activity through the ASGE Conflict of
Interest Resolution Policy Process. All disclosures are
made available and communicated to learners prior to
the activity starting.
