3 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Commercial Interest - The ACCME defines a commercial interest as any proprietary entity producing health care goods or services, with the exemption of non-profit or government organizations and non-health care related companies. Financial relationships -Financial relationships are those relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit. Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected. ACCME considers relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner. Relevant financial relationships - ACCME focuses on financial relationships with commercial interests in the 12-month period preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the CME activity. ACCME has not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship. The ACCME defines relevant financial relationships as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest. Conflict of Interest - Circumstances create a conflict of interest 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.

6 SPIRITUALITY Spirituality is an open, transcendent and relational reality that involves connection with oneself, with others, the natural world, and with a power greater than self. Spiritual practices are many and varied; based in part on our different cultures, personalities and learning styles. This adds a richness and diversity to a spirituality which brings openness, insight, serenity, and hope, as well as fostering acceptance and compassion for self and others that is both felt and lived out in daily life. Spiritual beliefs and practices enhance the connection between the self and a universal spiritual power beyond oneself, resulting in a sense of belonging, strength, purpose, direction and love.
