PROTECTION OF ATTENDEE INFORMATION

Children’s Minnesota Accredited Continuing Education Program follows ACCME Standard 2: Preventing Commercial Bias and Marketing in Accredited Continuing Education. Under this standard, accredited providers may not share learner names or contact information with any ineligible company or its agents without the learner’s explicit consent.

To support compliance with ACCME standards and protect learner privacy, Children’s Minnesota does not share attendee or registration lists with eligible companies, ineligible companies, or their agents, including internal or external outreach teams.

Departments involved in planning educational activities may receive registration information only when it is needed for event planning, operational support, or required accreditation documentation. For purposes of this policy, event planning and operational purposes include preparing event logistics, confirming attendance, sending reminders related to the educational activity, and supporting required accreditation or attendance documentation. Registration information may not be used to:

• solicit learners for products, services, programs, or other activities
• conduct unrelated marketing, recruitment, or outreach
• communicate with learners outside the scope of the education activity.

Children’s Minnesota Accredited Continuing Education Program does not currently have a mechanism to obtain, track, or monitor learner consent for sharing personal information. For that reason, sharing attendee names, contact information, or registration lists is prohibited.

Questions about attendee information, learner privacy, or ACCME compliance should be directed to the Accredited Continuing Education Program via email [email protected].
