“My Doctor Never Told Me That Would Happen” – A Patient Centered Approach to Informed Consent – Part Two
Course Description
Informed consent is a collaborative process where ophthalmologists and patients (family members) communicate and exchange information prior to making important eye healthcare decisions. In the video “My Doctor Never Told Me That Would Happen” – A Patient Centered Approach to Informed Consent, past OMIC Board Member, Tamara R. Fountain, MD, guides viewers through the many issues surrounding the informed consent process.
In Part Two of this video, Dr. Fountain reviews some “special considerations” such as:
- Residents role in informed consent process
- Discussing your experience performing a procedure for the first time
- Using drugs and devices “off-label”
- Managing a patient’s decision to refuse necessary treatment (“Informed Refusal”)
