I should start this commentary with full disclosure. I am the Associate Dean of the Office of Continuing Medical Education at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

I previously served (from 2011 to 2017) on the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) board of directors and as the vicechair and then chair of the board.

Also, I have served on the Institute of Medicine group that has evaluated and published evidence on the issues of undue influence in health care research, education, and practice.

These are not financial relationships, but they are positions that may color my perspective, and as such, I will disclose them upfront.

I suggest that readers take a moment and reflect on these disclosures.

Is it believable that I am an expert because of these? It is believable that I am biased because of these? Maybe some readers believe that both are possible.
