What Does IC Stand For?
IC stands for Informed Consent
Informed Consent (IC) is a fundamental ethical and legal requirement in which individuals are provided with comprehensive information regarding a proposed medical treatment or research study. This process ensures that participants understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives before voluntarily agreeing to proceed. Informed Consent upholds the principles of autonomy and respect for individuals, allowing them to make knowledgeable decisions about their health and participation in research. It emphasizes transparency and the importance of communication between healthcare providers and patients or research subjects.
