The online process for claiming CME credits and printing a CME certificate for the 66th ASH Annual Meeting must be completed no later than April 11, 2025.
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 70.00 Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.
HOW TO OBTAIN ABIM MOC POINTS
Once participants have completed their CME credit claim, they will be asked to submit a reflective statement on how they intend to change their practice based on the knowledge gained from participation in the meeting. Participants must include their ABIM number and month and day of birth. Upon review and approval, points will be submitted to the ACCME by ASH and will appear in the ABIM Physician Portal within 48 hours. To receive ABIM MOC points for the 66th ASH Annual Meeting, the online process for claiming CME/ABIM MOC credits must be completed by April 11, 2025. Participants must complete these steps to earn MOC points. Otherwise, participants will not have met all requirements and points will not be registered with ABIM.

CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY FOR THE ASH ANNUAL MEETING
ASH is committed to providing quality, objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous continuing medical education activities that are free from commercial and non-commercial bias. In accordance with the rules of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), ASH policy requires that all meeting session chairs, speakers, and moderators disclose in writing prior to the meeting any financial relationships they may hold with companies in the healthcare and biotechnology industries. Poster presenters are likewise required to disclose in writing any financial relationships they may have prior to the meeting and display their disclosures as a part of their poster presentation. If bias, actual or perceived, occurs during the presentations, session attendees are encouraged to address such bias during the question-and-answer periods following the presentations.
All ASH annual meeting presenters (including invited chairs and speakers, and abstract presenters and moderators) are asked to disclose any relationships of the following types: Employment, Consultancy, Stock Ownership, Research Funding, Honoraria, Patents & Royalties, Speakers Bureau, Membership on an entity’s Board of Directors or advisory committee, and any other financial relationship including Travel Support.
Any questions about this policy or concerns regarding disclosures should be directed to [email protected].
NON-CME SESSIONS
ASH is committed to continuously re-evaluating our policies and processes to ensure that they align with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education’s (AACME) increasingly stringent standards. The ACCME defines Ineligible Companies (IC), also known as commercial interests, as those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including biomedical startups and diagnostic laboratories with proprietary products, are classified as ineligible companies and, per ACCME, any presentation given by employees of industry is considered to be promotional in nature and therefore ineligible to be accredited.
There are a number of programs and sessions in the program that are not accredited for CME. Please note that oral and poster abstracts are no longer included in the accredited programming.
The final list of non-CME sessions is subject to change. Accredited sessions will be labeled on the virtual platform and an up-to-date list of sessions will also be available.
Disclosure Policy
In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) requires that individuals in a position to control the content of an educational activity disclose all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interest. ASH mitigates all relevant financial relationships with commercial interests to ensure independence, objectivity, balance, and scientific rigor in all educational programs. Furthermore, ASH seeks to verify that all scientific research referred to, reported, or used in a CME/CE activity conforms to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis. ASH is committed to providing learners with high-quality CME/CE activities that promote improvements in health care and not those of commercial interest. ASH staff who control content have no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
