Informed Consent

Informed Consent is a critical ethical and legal principle in healthcare and research that ensures individuals have sufficient information to make autonomous decisions about their medical care or participation in studies. Coursera's Informed Consent catalogue teaches you the fundamental components of this process, including disclosure of relevant information, assessment of patient comprehension, and voluntary agreement. You'll learn to effectively communicate risks and benefits, respect patient autonomy, document consent properly, and navigate complex scenarios involving vulnerable populations or emergency situations. Mastering Informed Consent empowers healthcare professionals and researchers to uphold ethical standards, protect patient rights, and foster trust in medical and scientific practices, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and more responsible research conduct.
