Article Abstract

Danish health law does not explicitly consider the participation of patients in clinical training of medical students. This causes uncertainty with regards to patients' rights and to the obligations of the hospital and the medical student. In this paper, we evaluate the legal aspects as regards information, consent and privacy in situations where patients are involved in the training of medical students. We conclude that it is necessary to elucidate the legal aspects and develop legal and practical guidelines for these situations.
