We provide clinical expertise to those assisting with patients’ end-of-life options

The Academy does not advocate for patients to participate in aid in dying. We inform and educate clinicians about medical aid in dying, from clinical discussions to evidence-based knowledge, from palliative care to the work of bedside volunteers, from medical ethics to pharmacology, doctors to doulas.
