This session will explore the clinical and ethical complexities involved in MAiD assessments through two detailed case studies. The first case will focus on frailty and the nuances of assessing eligibility in this context, concluding with a practical frailty assessment tool for use in clinical practice. The second case will highlight the role of prognosis and rehabilitation potential, with insight from a physiatrist on timelines for various diagnoses. Together, these cases will prompt discussion on key questions such as: Who should you consult? When? And how do you determine Track 1 versus Track 2 eligibility?$60

MAiD: Ask Me Anything with Dr. Stefanie Green – The Facts and The Fiction
What You Think You Know About MAiD in Canada Is Probably Wrong. Let’s Fix That. Join internationally recognized MAiD expert Dr. Stefanie Green in a no-holds-barred Ask Me Anything that untangles the fiction from the fact. Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) has been legal in Canada since 2016, and since day one, misinformation has followed. From alarming headlines to half-truths on social media, the public conversation about MAiD is often fueled by fear, not facts. On October 22, CAMAP invites you to a powerful, 60-minute online event featuring Dr. Stefanie Green — a leading voice in MAiD and one of its early pioneers in Canada. Dr. Green will answer your toughest questions, debunk the myths, and explain how MAiD really works: who is eligible, what safeguards are in place, and what the law actually says. This event is free to attend and essential if you care about truth, fact, and informed public discourse.Free -

Fall Symposium 2025 – Navigating Complex Cases (Part 2)
As MAiD cases grow in complexity, clinicians are increasingly called upon to assess nuanced issues of capacity, consent, and cognitive decline. This session will explore two challenging clinical scenarios: the first will examine capacity assessments where mental health conditions are present, emphasizing the importance of thorough documentation and reference to the CAMAP guidance. The second case will focus on cognitive decline and the use of waivers of final consent in patients with dementia. Practical tools and clinical strategies will be shared to help participants apply best practices in real-world decision-making.$60.00 -
