THE VISTAKON® VISION
VISTAKON® is committed to supporting education through independent educational activities, including continuing medical education (CME), continuing education (CE) and non-accredited educational activities. The VISTAKON® Medical Affairs group is responsible for administering support for independent education activities.
Medical Affairs has prepared this information to assist Accredited and other Educational Providers in preparing grant requests for submission to our organization.
Medical Affairs adheres to a strict policy governing independent education activities. Our policy is based on guidelines set by government agencies (e.g. FDA, OIG), accrediting organizations (e.g. ACCME, COPE, NCLE), industry (e.g. PhRMA), and medical associations (e.g. AMA, AOA). One of the goals of our policy is to ensure that the Accredited Provider/Educational Partner retains all control governing the program, and that VISTAKON® does not exercise any direct or indirect influence over any aspect associated with an independent educational program or activity.
CONTINUING EDUCATION VISION
To lead the vision care industry in quality continuing education by addressing the educational needs of healthcare providers and ultimately improving patient outcomes, with an organizational infrastructure that is approachable and responsive.
