General Information

BioSymposia is an independent, non-profit organization that provides the highest caliber, state-of-the-art continuing medical education to scientists and medical professionals.

BioSymposia is not different. It is the same top-quality provider of educational activities as Serono Symposia International, Inc., with a new and refreshed brand that better illustrates our status as a provider of high-caliber, cutting-edge continuing medical education to scientists and medical professionals. Under our new brand, BioSymposia will continue to provide top-quality educational activities consistent with our history and reputation.

BioSymposia is committed to ensuring unbiased educational activities. BioSymposia engages various independent experts for all educational activities to define topics for activities, select or serve as speakers, and to develop content. Independent experts must provide information on potential conflicts of interest and can serve as independent experts only if no conflicts exists, the conflicts have been eliminated, the conflicts are addressed through a peer review process or the conflicts are otherwise managed in accordance with BioSymposia's Policies & Procedures.

BioSymposia is responsible for developing continuing education activities through a systematic evaluation of multiple sources of information. These sources include detailed educational needs assessment, review of scientific and clinical literature, consideration of topics proposed through learners’ evaluation forms, interviews with practitioners, assessment of practice developments and consideration of suggestions offered, or requests made, for topics.
