Asked Questions (FAQs) which address numerous areas of compliance, including conflicts of interest (COI) and ethics.\u00a0 Federal laws such as the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), which applies to all UW Medicine workforce members, and the Washington State laws such as the Ethics in Public Service Act, which applies to all UW employees, form the backbone of UW Medicine\u2019s COI\/ethics-related policies and these FAQs are an extension of that framework.\u00a0 The overarching goal of these FAQs is to help workforce members navigate the UW Medicine rules and norms around gifts, use of institutional resources, outside work, and other related topics so that outside or personal interests which may bias professional judgment or performance of UW Medicine job duties may be avoided.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/comply\/docs\/FAQ_CharitableFundraising.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"
