Can I take the Curriculum topics out of order?

Yes. You can take Canadian MAiD Curriculum topics individually and do not need to complete them in numerical order.

However, the Curriculum is designed so that foundational topics build knowledge that supports learning in the more advanced topics. For this reason, we recommend completing Topics 1, 2, 3 and 5 before moving on to the more advanced Topics 4, 6 and 7.

If you already have experience or education in MAiD, you can choose the eligible topics that best meet your learning needs.

 

Can I attend an English session and access pre-learning in French if that suits my schedule better?

Yes, please let us know at cmc@camapcanada.ca, and we can provide you access to pre-learning material in either language.

Do I need my clinician license number to register?

For clinicians, License numbers will be used to confirm your MD/NP clinician status with the associated organization (RCPSC, CCFP-CMFC, NPAC-AIIPC, CMQ).

For the Topics that are open to the public and non-clinicians, this is not required.

 

 

I am a medical student or nursing trainee, can I register?

Yes. Medical and nursing students may be eligible to register for the Canadian MAiD Curriculum.

Eligibility varies by topic. Some topics are open to everyone, while others are designed for healthcare professionals and learners in patient-care roles.

I am an allied health worker or a medical/nursing student (I am not yet an MD/NP), can I register?

Yes. The Canadian MAiD Curriculum is available to a range of healthcare professionals, students, and other learners; however, eligibility varies by topic.

Some topics are open to everyone, while others are intended for healthcare professionals and learners whose roles involve direct patient care or MAiD-related practice.

Allied health professionals and medical, nursing and other healthcare students are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements here for each topic to determine which are available and appropriate for them.

Foundations provides an introduction to MAiD in Canada, including the legal framework, eligibility, safeguards, and other foundational information.
