We are disappointed by the framing of The Atlantic’s recent article on MAiD in Canada. The author’s portrayal of this complex and deeply personal area of healthcare leans heavily on sensationalism rather than balanced reporting, misleads readers about the realities of MAiD and the work of those who provide it, and uses inflammatory language to make sloppy comparisons to justify its biased reporting.
We are the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (MAiD is Medical Assistance in Dying). At its core, our organization is made up of clinicians who provide MAiD services including assessment for eligibility and the provision of MAiD itself.
While we are predominantly an association of nurse practitioners and physicians (family physicians, hospitalists, internists, anaesthetists, neurologists and more), anyone involved in the work or interested in supporting it is most welcome to join our community. This includes social workers, nurses, care coordinators, pharmacists, nurses, lawyers, researchers, administrators, pastoral care, and more. We are a diverse community from coast to coast to coast.

One of our key tenets is to support our members by providing guidance on various topics to help ensure the highest level of medical standards in this delivery of care. Some highlights include:
