ASNC's Learner Bill of Rights

The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) recognizes that you are a life-long learner who has chosen to engage in continuing medical education to identify or fill a gap in knowledge, skill, or performance.

  • Is valid, reliable, and accurate;
  • Offers balanced presentations that are free of commercial bias for or against a product/service;
  • Is vetted through a process that resolves any conflicts of interests of planners, teachers, or authors;
  • Is driven and based on learning needs, not commercial interests;
  • Addresses the stated objectives or purpose; and
  • Is evaluated for its effectiveness in meeting the identified educational need.
• A learning environment that:
  • Supports learners' ability to meet their individual needs;
  • Respects and attends to any special needs of the learners;
  • Respects the diversity of groups of learners; and
  • Is free of promotional, commercial, and/or sales activities.
• Disclosure of:
  • Relevant financial relationships planners, teachers, and authors have with commercial interests related to the content of the activity; and
  • Commercial support (funding or in-kind resources of the activity).
