In an electronic CME activity, can we provide the disclosure information that is required in the Standards for Commercial Support by SCS6 via a link which participants can click on, if they choose?

No. For CME activities in which the learner participates electronically (e.g., via the Internet), all required ACCME information specified in Standard for Commercial Support 6: Disclosures Relevant to Potential Commercial Bias must be transmitted to the learner prior to the learner beginning the CME activity.

It is the intention of the ACCME that all the information related to SCS 6 must be transmitted (not just be accessible) to the learner prior to the learner engaging in the CME activity. In effect, the learner should be made to pass through this information prior to engaging in the CME activity.
