Description: CC Grand Rounds: Ethics Rounds: Capacity to Consent: What is it? Who has it?

Ethical clinical care and ethical clinical research depend on obtaining appropriate informed consent. However, obtaining consent in practice raises a number of challenges. What is required to give consent for clinical care, what is required to give consent for research, and how do they differ? Does an underlying cognitive impairment or psychiatric condition undermine the capacity to consent?

Please join us to discuss these and other challenges clinicians face when obtaining informed consent.
