Informed consent for medical treatment provided to an unconscious patient by a student or medical resident provided, and penalty established.

Summary

The bill mandates that a patient or their legal representative must give prior written consent before a health‑related student or medical resident provides any preventive, diagnostic, or treatment care to an unconscious patient. The consent must describe the specific procedure and note that a student or resident may perform it, and the form must be approved by the commissioner. Violations trigger disciplinary action by the student's school or the resident’s licensing board.
