Medical Assistance in Dying – Preliminary Consultation (CLOSED)

Tell us what you think:

We want you to help us update our current Medical Assistance in Dying policy.

This policy helps physicians understand their legal obligations with respect to medical assistance in dying (MAID) and sets out professional expectations for issues not addressed in the legislation.

An Advice to the Profession: Medical Assistance in Dying document also accompanies the policy, providing general advice or guidance on specific practice issues.

Have your say:

We want to hear your thoughts on the current policy. For example, some general questions we have include:

• Does the current policy protect and serve the public interest?

• Does the current policy contain practical expectations for physicians?

• What issues related to MAID are physicians and the public looking to CPSO to provide guidance or set out additional expectations for?

Or please answer the specific questions we have in our online survey regarding the current policy content (click here to download the PDF list of questions).

Please provide your feedback by May 14, 2021.

Next Steps:

Your feedback is important to us. Your comments will be carefully reviewed and used to help us evaluate the current policy.

CPSO Council will ultimately determine what policy revisions will be made when finalizing and approving the policy.

Thank you for participating!
