A new requirement from ASHA's Continuing Education Board takes effect in 2012. Designed to promote transparency in the design, development, and presentation of courses offered for ASHA CEUs, the requirement aligns ASHA with current practices among other professions, particularly in the continuing medical education arena. Anyone submitting a presentation, or listed as an author for a presentation, for consideration at an ASHA event will now be required to complete a disclosure indicating any financial or non-financial relationship related to the content of the proposed session.
