Join Clinical herbalist and AHG Executive Director, Erika Galentin MNIMH RH for an exploration of the meaning behind informed consent and disclosure and why this clinical form serves as the foundation of safety, legality, and transparency in your clinical practice.
In this workshop you will learn:
- The purpose of an informed consent and disclosure form, including how this form serves as a contract between you and your client which offers transparency and manages expectations about what to expect from working with you.
- Elements of an informed consent and disclosure form including defining scope of practice, assumption of risk clauses, and conflicts of interest or accountability statements
- How and in what ways to approach the laws of your state in order to understand and feel fully comfortable about communicating your scope of practice with clarity and transparency.
This workshop is for herbalists who are interested in bolstering both safety and clarity in clinical practice and who are interested in understanding the legal goalposts of the unlicensed practice of herbalism and how to communicate this scope of practice effectively when onboarding clients.
