Jefferson’s Conflicts of Interest process is one of the important tools we provide to members of the Jefferson community to help everyone, including patients, students, and the public, judge for themselves whether particular relationships may influence decisions we make when carrying out Jefferson-related responsibilities.
Disclosing relationships and activities is one of the most effective means through which to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to integrity and transparency. Members of Jefferson’s community have a continuing obligation to disclose fully all relationships and activities that may impact their Jefferson-related work.
Our Jeff-COISmart system provides a fast and easy way to disclose all relationships and activities.
