General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

A university hospital trains professionals, but an examination for clinical teaching requires your prior consent.

You must also receive information before that examination. Ask who is present and what each person’s role is.

Say if you wish to speak with the practitioner before responding to the teaching proposal.

The Hospices Civils de Lyon regulations state that students must be informed about respecting patients’ rights.

The general right to free and informed consent applies to medical procedures. Ask the team to distinguish care from participation in teaching.

If you feel uncomfortable, say so before the examination and ask the team to clarify its arrangements.
