Canadian MAiD Curriculum
Curriculum Overview
The Canadian MAiD Curriculum (CMC) is the first nationally accredited, comprehensive, bilingual educational program to support the practice of MAiD in Canada. The training is delivered through a combination of online and in-person formats.
The curriculum offers a comprehensive total of 81 credits for the CFPC, 27 hours of self-assessment for the RCPSC. There are 13 online self-study hours and 14 hours for facilitated sessions.
The curriculum is free for clinicians (licensed physicians and nurse practitioners) until March 2026.
Health Canada is funding clinician learners to take the curriculum in the first two years, and all topics in this curriculum are accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC), the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC).
Topic Areas
The CMC covers eight topic areas, developed by a number of interdisciplinary working groups made up of subject matter experts from diverse geographies and disciplines.
Project Funding
Financial support gratefully received from the Government of Canada for this work.
