Guidelines and Compliance
Please note that due to the US government’s Sunshine Act reporting guidelines, it is now a requirement to obtain medical license number and state and/or NPI numbers for all US Health Care Providers. Please complete this information when prompted in the registration portal.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA) code explicitly states that spouses or guests should not attend industry-sponsored events and it would not be appropriate to pay for the cost of the spouse or guest of the healthcare professional, if they do attend.
Worldwide Clinical Trials's current policy for research meetings fully complies with the PhRMA code. Spouses and guests are not permitted to attend any scheduled meeting or meal functions. If a spouse or guest accompanies a healthcare professional to a meeting location, the healthcare professional will be responsible for all expenses related to the spouse or guest, including travel, room upgrades, meals and gratuities. In the event of cancellation of the meeting, attendees booking personal trips, flight upgrades or guest tickets in conjunction with a meeting do so at their own risk as Worldwide Clinical Trials will not reimburse for such expenses.
Healthcare professionals are expected to attend all scheduled meeting functions during their stay at the meeting location. Healthcare professionals may not expense meals in lieu of scheduled meal functions.
