Skill description:
The skill of obtaining informed consent from patients is an essential element
of contemporary approach in medicine - patient centred care. By practising
this skill students significantly increase the odds of empowering patients in

equal partner in their health decisions are core elements of the skill of
obtaining informed consent.
