Description: What is informed consent? We will define the principles of informed consent and understand why it is crucial to autonomous decision making. We will review language and communication to ensure the voluntary nature of participation and why that is critical. We will breakdown the ethical and legal implications and how informed consent changes in the pediatric population. Communication between a provider or clinician and a patient is a major pillar in informed consent. We will discuss how communication is crucial in specific case examples as we interpret and discuss informed consent in the pediatric population.

• Define Informed consent

• Summarize how to obtain full informed consent and adequate disclosure of risk
