Overview
Course Description
Generally speaking, obtaining informed consent means that a patient who agrees to undergo a treatment, health intervention or procedure does so only after being made aware of the associated benefits, risks, and alternative treatments. While there may be a degree of risk involved with any health intervention, it is up to the patient to determine if the danger associated with a treatment is acceptable.
