Informed consent is a cornerstone of medicine, ensuring ethical treatment decisions and patient-centered care. Patients have the right to make informed and voluntary treatment decisions. Informed consent is more than merely a signature on a document; it is a communication process between the clinician and the patient. This process ensures that the patient is fully informed about the nature of the procedure or intervention, the potential risks and benefits, and the alternative treatments available. The patient can refuse or withdraw consent at any time during treatment. Informed consent respects patient autonomy, promotes trust in the patient-provider relationship, and safeguards against unethical practices. Medical care and medical research have become increasingly complex. Therefore, the role of informed consent continues to become more complicated as new medical challenges arise. Technological advances, diverse patient populations, and a growing emphasis on shared decision-making have made the topic of informed consent more open to discussion than ever before. This activity focuses on the critical aspects of informed consent and common challenges in obtaining informed consent. Participants explore the ethical, legal, and practical dimensions of informed consent. The emphasis is on enhancing patient communication and assuring informed and voluntary consent. This activity discusses the role of the interdisciplinary team in overcoming challenges and barriers to obtaining informed consent, thus ensuring that the patient’s autonomy and rights are respected in every clinical interaction.
