title: Conflict of interest.
abstract: Conflicts of interest are mainly financial when it comes to physician/industry relationships. Financial relationships are those in which a person benefits by receiving money in any amount in the previous 12 months. The Accreditation Council of Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) defines conflict of interest as, "when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she has a financial relationship."
