Guidelines for RSS Endorsing Workshops and Other Educational Events
The Radiosurgery Society® (RSS) endorses workshops and educational programs that focus on stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy. Applicants must complete the appropriate application form and provide the required materials as detailed in the application form. Incomplete applications will be returned. The applicants must submit the completed application and materials at least 3 months before the date of the educational activity.

CRITERIA
1. The program should be fair, balanced and not promotional in nature and content.
2. The content cannot disparage other products or educational programs.
3. The content must be relevant to the work of RSS members.
4. The content must ultimately be directed towards the advancement of science and the benefit of patients.

STIPULATIONS
1. The Director of Clinical Programs and the RSS Staff will vet activities for which RSS endorsement is sought and will make recommendations to the Clinical Education Committee with regard to the request.
2. The Clinical Education Committee will review all Applications. Turn-around time to review completed applications can take as much as 4-6 weeks from date of receipt of application and all supporting documents. RSS must approve the objectives and program.
3. Following the review, the Educational Committee will recommend either “Approval”, “Provisional Approval” or “Not Approved”. Provisional Approval will only be granted for those applicants that have met all the essential elements other than confirming all the program speakers or final lecture titles. A final agenda for the provisionally approved program will be required prior to receipt of full approval.
4. The RSS assumes no financial responsibilities whatsoever when endorsing any educational program or event.
5. The organization seeking RSS endorsement must disclose the background of all speakers, including information regarding their potential conflicts of interest. If speakers have a potential conflict of interest (e.g., honorarium, speaker fees, project PI, grants, etc.), this must be disclosed to the program participants both orally and in meeting materials.
6. If the event is expected to provide CME to attendees, there can be no influence or involvement in the program development or selection of speakers from requesting Industry/Corporation.
7. The program as offered to physicians must be in compliance with the American Medical Association's Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs ethical opinion of "Gifts to Physicians from Industry” (Opinion 8.061).
8. All educational programs should include an outcomes component that demonstrates the impact of the educational activity on the clinical practice of participants.
9. The program may not be scheduled to take place on the same dates as those of major meetings conducted by international, national and regional meetings of the Radiosurgery Society.

IF APPLICATION IS APPROVED
1. Activities approved for RSS endorsement will have the right to use the RSS name and logo (trademark license) for that program only.
2. RSS retains approval rights for any marketing material that bears the RSS name or logo. RSS must review and approve all collateral, website, email blasts, and any other form of documentation or electronic media that bears the RSS logo.
3. The fact that a licensing fee (included in the Application Fee) has been paid to RSS will be communicated to program participants.
4. Completion of a post meeting survey, to be provided by the RSS, must be completed within 1 month of the meeting date.
