Featured Webinars

This webinar offers a practical introduction to how eligibility for MAID is assessed in Canada. Through a series of fictional case examples, two experienced Canadian MAID assessors walk through what clinicians consider when meeting with someone who is exploring this option.

This session explores key legal criteria,  such as capacity, suffering, voluntariness, and what qualifies as a “grievous and irremediable” condition – as well as how factors like personal values, and life circumstances are taken into account.

This webinar focuses on Track 2 MAID – cases where a person’s natural death is not reasonably foreseeable – and addresses the confusion and misinformation that often surround it. 

Led by experienced MAID clinicians, the session explains Canada’s two-track system,  what distinguishes Track 2 from Track 1, and the additional safeguards and assessment processes involved in determining eligibility.

This webinar focuses on two often-confused aspects of MAID: advance requests and waivers of final consent. 

Featuring experienced MAID providers, the session explains how these legal concepts differ within Canadian law and what they mean in practice for patients and families. The webinar addresses common questions and misconceptions, and offers practical insight into how decision-making capacity can affect end-of-life decisions.

This webinar is structured as a live question-and-answer session with experienced MAID providers. Featuring a nurse practitioner and a physician, the session gives participants the opportunity to ask direct, practical questions about medical assistance in dying and hear answers grounded in clinical experience. 

The discussion offers accessible insight into how MAID works, what patients and families can expect, and how decisions can unfold in real-life situations. 

This webinar takes a closer look at the misinformation that often shapes public conversations about MAID. Featuring bioethicist Eric Mathison, the session examines common claims seen in media and online spaces and breaks them down using evidence, ethics, and current Canadian law. 

Rather than debating headlines, the webinar focuses on how safeguards work, how ethical questions are approached in real-world situations, and how MAID works in practice. 

This panel discussion explores the complex and often misunderstood relationship between MAID and dementia in Canada. 

Featuring a physician and MAID provider, a lawyer involved in the landmark Carter v. Canada case that decriminalized assisted dying in Canada, and an individual with lived experience supporting family members through dementia and MAID, the session examines how current MAID laws apply to dementia diagnoses, and how providers navigate questions of capacity and consent.
