The California Faculty Disclosure of Commercial Interest (CCI) is a requirement of the California Code of Regulations and is designed to protect the public and patients from potential conflicts of interest between faculty, health care providers and pharmaceutical or medical device companies. It requires faculty members to disclose any financial relationships they have with companies whose products or services may be discussed in courses, lectures, or other educational activities. The CCI applies to all faculty members at California universities or colleges, including the University of California, the California State University system, and private universities in the state. There are two main types of CCI disclosure. The first is a general disclosure that must be given at the beginning of any educational activity that discusses products or services that may have a conflict of interest. This disclosure must include the name of any company with which the faculty member has a financial relationship, the nature of the relationship, and any payments received. The second type of disclosure is a specific disclosure that must be given if a faculty member is discussing or recommending a product or service from a company in which he or she has a financial relationship. This disclosure must include the name of the company, the nature of the relationship, and any fees or payments received.
