Conflict of Interest - Everyone MUST do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Colleague:

In accordance with the MUSC and MUHA Board of Trustees policy, I am writing to inform you that it is time to administer the annual conflict of interest disclosure.  As a public institution concerned with patient care, education and research, MUSC must solicit and review financial interests and outside activities in order to identify and manage any conflict of interests for those who work here.

As a reminder, the MUSC/MUHA policy requires disclosure of significant financial interests which relate to your work at MUSC at the time of employment.  Annual updates also are required, as well as interim reports that are due within 30 days of a change in a financial interest. We continue to use a secure internet-based program, to allow you to confidentially transmit information.  The URL to access the online disclosure on the conflict of interest’s web site is: http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/coi

General questions and comments may be addressed to conflicts@musc.edu.  I recognize this is a busy time of the year.  Nevertheless, I would appreciate it if you could complete the disclosure no later than April 30, 2013.

Thank you in advance for your help in complying with this important Board policy.  Your participation is essential to assuring the integrity of the institution as a whole.  Please accept my appreciation for all that you do for the Medical University and for the people of South Carolina.

Sincerely,


Raymond S. Greenberg, MD, PhD
President
