Abstract: (CIT): NIH Clinical Center Ethics Grand Rounds What should surrogates be told about patients' clinical care? Should they be given only information relevant to making medical decisions? Who should decide when information is relevant to making medical decisions? These are questions that most researchers will encounter at some point in their research careers and the ethical issues raised create real dilemmas that are not easily resolved. Rebecca Dresser, Esq. from the Washington University/St. Louis School of Law will address these questions and lead the discussion.
