Conflicts of Interest
ICAPS is committed to the utmost integrity in its activities and recognizes the critical need to identify and avoid conflicts of interest.
Accordingly, all ICAPS members must disclose any such conflicts of interest and these are reported below. Members are asked to update, if needed, such disclosure at least annually and at the time of each ICAPS activity or request for review or input. Members are recused from specific ICAPS activities for which they have relevant conflicts.
Members specifically disclose the existence of, or plans for, financial interests or positions of responsibility in entities providing goods or services relating to the practice of procedural sedation, including employment, consulting, paid lectures, membership in speakers’ bureaus, gifts, favors, or other support, but excluding normal reimbursement for their personal provision of medical or dental care. Additionally, they disclose any other interest that a reasonable third party might regard as a conflict with either ICAPS or with its mission and objectives.
ICAPS maintains a conflict of interest subcommittee that oversees the administration of this policy.
