Policy Regarding Heart Rhythm Society Disclosures of Relationships and Competing Interests with Industry
The Heart Rhythm Society and the Heart Rhythm Foundation ("Society") are committed to upholding the highest ethical values and to encourage professional and principled behavior by its staff and volunteers. It is the role of the Society to educate staff, officers, trustees, volunteers, and other members on these issues, actively recognize potential conflicts and develop proactive policies for individuals and the organization. Each trustee, committee member, officer and staff member receives a copy of the Society’s ethics policy, which they are required to read and acknowledge in writing. Conflict of interest disclosure statements are filed annually by volunteers and senior staff, and are subject to random auditing by the Ethics Oversight Committee.
