Description of CME Course
Physicians can find themselves in ethically difficult positions when their patients are unable to give their informed consent. As part of the Informed Consent and Decision Making series, this Code of Medical Ethics module navigates a physician’s obligation to assess their patient’s decision-making capacity and explores the role of surrogates, consent versus assent, standards of decision-making, and the physician’s role in advance care planning in this process.
