Organizations and CoI issues
So a summary of the relevant guidelines is at WP:ORGFAQ. I believe we discussed most of them in our conversation about your edits to the National Physicians Alliance and American Medical Student Association pages.

I think it would be quite useful for you to declare any conflicts of interest you might have on your user page, as outlined at WP:COI and specifically at declaring an interest section, which provides an example.

I also note that shared accounts are expressly prohibited under the COI policy guidelines. It is probably not necessary to post at the conflict of interest noticeboard about this, but you may want to mention it briefly on your user page as a sort of mea culpa. If you wanted to be extra thorough you might also post something on the User talk:NPALive page, and perhaps also on the User talk page of the admin who blocked the account (User talk:Alexf). A simple apology or mention that you have reviewed the relevant policies would, I think, be more than sufficient.

Thanks, and happy editing! -- [ UseTheCommandLine ~/talk ] #_ 00:15, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
