MER: Anesthesiology M&M Conference 2026 - 2/9/2026

The Anesthesiology Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) Conference is a regularly scheduled educational series designed to foster an open, multidisciplinary discussion of clinical cases with adverse outcomes or challenging perioperative management. The conference provides a forum for anesthesiologists, residents, and other health care professionals to review and analyze cases in a supportive, non-punitive environment. The goal is to identify contributing factors, enhance clinical decision-making, and implement strategies for improving patient safety and outcomes. By focusing on evidence-based practice, systems-based improvements, and interprofessional collaboration, the conference promotes a culture of continuous learning and quality improvement within the department.

Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships and Content Validity
It is policy at Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for course directors, planners, moderators, faculty, and all others in a position to control content of an educational activity disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that they may have had within the past 24 months. This policy is in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual refuses to disclose financial relationships, they will be disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of the activity. Owners and/or employees of an ineligible company with business lines or products relating to the content of the activity will not be permitted to participate in the planning or execution of any accredited program.

The intent of this policy is to ensure that Scripps Health CME/CE certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, consist of valid, evidence-based content, and are independent of control from ineligible companies and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information was found to contain any financial relationships. This process consisted of reviewing the content, determining which financial relationships were relevant, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies. All listed relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for individuals in control of content have been mitigated prior to the commencement of the activity.

The staff in Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education have disclosed that they have no financial relationships with any ineligible companies. Any peer reviewer who is determined to have a relevant financial relationship must recuse themselves from the peer review process.
