The Patient Information and Consent Process

Course Overview

The Patient Information and Consent Process is the cornerstone for patient protection.
This course was designed to provide the most in depth information of the consent process for studies under an IND and any other GCP compliant study. Every investigator site must ensure that proper compliant informed consent was obtained and that all reasonable risks were disclosed to the subject.

The program

  • This course and workshop will discuss in depth the consent form content, as well as the language and interpretation. It is still a matter of discussion on how to ensure that the subject "understood" the consent information, therefore methods to verify that the patient understood will also be part of this course.
  • The process of writing the consent according to IRB's and regulatory requirements will be presented to allow the participant understand compliance.
  • Discussion will be provided for the most important issues in consenting as is:
    • who can act as consenter
