That usually seems to be in the informed consent for surgery, as is the use of the specimen for pathology and review. I never inform my patients that, although I don't work at a teaching hospital. However, when I do have students or residents with me, I always ask for permission from the patient prior to letting them in the exam room or OR.

For the MDs on the list, this might not be the best place for this question but my husband needs a fast response for an attorney on a med mal(gen surgery case) case review he's working at-the atty wants a general consensus on what most prudent doctors do. It involves a patient who was apparently not told verbally or in a paper consent, by the doctor or the hospital ,that the hospital has interns and residents who might be participating in their care. Please let me know what you do in your practices, and thanaks so much for your responses in advance!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
