Conflicts of Interest: Informed Consent

MCLE CREDIT
Total General: .75 Total Professional Responsibility: .75
This e-learning program will help you identify conflicts of interest and determine if obtaining informed consent is permitted given the particular conflict at issue.  Additionally, this program will unpack what must be done to obtain informed consent and how to create an effective waiver.  

In this program, you will:
  • Learn the ethics rules regarding informed consent in conflicts of interest situations;
  • Apply these rules to different scenarios; and
  • Reflect on how to use informed consent appropriately in your own practice.
Important MCLE Notice: This Program was originally released as a PMBR (2020-2021) module. If you have previously viewed this Program as a PMBR (2020-2021) module and received a Certificate of Completion, you may only claim MCLE credit once for this Program within a 12-month period. The ARDC reports individual attorney attendance to the MCLE Board by the 5th of the month subsequent to the date of completion of the MCLE program (for example, September events will be reported by October 5).
