Cato Research Regulatory Scientist Amber Barnes, PhD, RAC will be speaking on “Informed Consent Content and Process Requirements” at the August 2, 2010 meeting of the NC East Chapter of the Society of Clinical Research Associates (SoCRA).
Dr. Barnes’ presentation will focus on the elements of the informed consent document, and the components of the process. Industry specific scenarios will be presented to reinforce important concepts, for example: evaluating and documenting capacity to consent, voluntariness, HIPAA authorization, withdrawal of consent, and more. Discussions will also include reported poor regulatory performance regarding informed consent, and successful solutions for practices that increase the protection of human subjects in clinical research.

This is a massive topic in medical ethics and it’s interesting to see that there are meetings being held to discuss it. It’s so neccessary to judge and evaluate the consent process and a person’s capacity to give consent and hopefully CATO will continue to offer good work in this area.
