                           Disclosure Policy: 
                            It is the policy of the ISHD and HDCN that speakers with potential conflicts of interest disclose these at the time of presentation.
  
                            Off-label/investigational Use: 
                            Because this course is meant to educate physicians with what is currently in use and what may be
available in the future, there may be "off-label" use discussed in the presentations. Speakers have
been requested to inform the audience when off-label use is being discussed.
                             
                            
                            
                           The policy statements of HDCN are listed on  this page.
