In accordance with the accredited continuing education sponsored by Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), all planners, teachers, and authors with control over activity content are required to disclose to the provider any relevant financial relationships (those held by the planner, currently or within the last 24 months) with ineligible companies.
