Independent Medical Education

Apellis welcomes Independent Medical Education (IME) grants that help patient and professional healthcare-related organizations deliver educational programs, services, and activities related to those disease areas on which the company focuses its development and therapeutic programs. The purpose of such educational grants is to improve public health, patient experiences and outcomes, and advance scientific knowledge.

Apellis may consider providing support for the following types of IME.

Accredited Education Program.  Independent medical education activities (live, print, enduring, and CME) that serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance of healthcare professionals or patients. Independent programs and/or materials are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) or other appropriate accrediting body.

Non-Accredited Education Program.  Independent medical education activities (live, print, enduring, and non-CME) that serve to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance of healthcare professionals or patients. These programs and/or materials are not accredited and medical professionals do not receive continuing education credits for participation.

Fellowship.  A program that provides mentored research, professional development, and academic training in support of postdoctoral fellows. Fellowship grant funds cannot be used for overhead costs.

Apellis adheres to the commercial support standards established by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) and complies with the principles established by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Compliance Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Code on Interactions with Medical Professionals.
