Subject Matter Expert Program

Designate a key bedside clinician—nurse, social worker, or physician—to serve as your team’s go‑to resource for evidence‑based best practices in aid‑in‑dying care.

Every hospice in an aid‑in‑dying state is now seeing, or will soon see, patients considering medical aid in dying—whether you are fully opted in, opted out, or somewhere in between. Preparing your policies and staff to communicate compassionately and provide high‑quality care is essential to your mission and to staff confidence.

Our training develops an internal Subject Matter Expert in aid‑in‑dying care to clearly communicate your hospice’s position to patients, families, and staff without requiring endorsement of medical aid in dying.

We spotlight evidence‑based best practices in aid‑in‑dying care and coordination, blending on‑demand online coursework with practical, real‑world guidance so staff can learn when it fits their schedules.
