Canadian MAiD Curriculum
In August 2023, CAMAP launched the Canadian MAiD Curriculum (CMC), the first comprehensive, nationally accredited, evidence-based training program to support the practice of MAiD in Canada. This modular course aims to educate new MAiD practitioners, advance the skills of existing MAiD practitioners, and help standardize the approach to care by supporting those who deliver MAiD care from coast to coast to coast.
At the MAiD2025 conference, all CMC topics will be offered on April 30 and May 1 to licensed clinicians (physicians and nurse practitioners). There is no cost for clinicians to register, which is made possible by financial support from Health Canada.
Please note that the CMC Facilitated sessions are in person only; virtual attendance will not be available.
Space is limited. Secure your spot by completing the registration form on the Registration tab above.
