Informed consent for medical treatment provided to an unconscious patient by a student or medical resident provision

This bill requires written informed consent before students or medical residents perform medical treatment on unconscious patients in Minnesota. It defines a student as someone in a health-related education program and a medical resident as a physician in supervised clinical training. The consent form must describe the specific treatment and inform the patient or their representative that a student or resident will perform the procedure. If consent is not obtained, students face disciplinary action from their educational institution, while medical residents face action from their licensing board. The bill applies to all medical treatment provided to unconscious patients for preventative, diagnostic, or treatment purposes.
