Obtaining and Documenting Informed Consent: An Advanced UME Cross-Specialty, Role-Playing Skill Builder

This course successfully enhanced students' ability and confidence in obtaining informed consent in a low-stakes, supportive environment. The inclusion of multiple specialties and the opportunity to practice documentation addresses gaps identified in prior curricula. Future iterations could optimize session timing and consider offering earlier training, prior to clinical clerkships. This model could also be adapted for longitudinal assessment of informed consent proficiency in medical trainees across undergraduate and graduate medical education.
