Welcome to Conflict of Interest for Professionals

Welcome to the Conflict of Interest for Professionals asynchronous course. Through this course you will learn how to define conflict of interest, how to recognize and manage conflicts, how to disclose conflicts and how to write conflict of interest policies.


The course is facilitated by Stewart Sampson, CRSP and is modular (meaning you can go through each module separately). While the course itself is estimated to take 2.5 to 3 hours, there is no actual time limit for any module or for the course overall. However, you must complete all modules before you are eligible for a completion certificate.
