MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) is an end-of-life care option that has evolved significantly since it was first legalized in 2016. MAiD is governed by federal law, guided by professional best practice guidelines and operationalized by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. MAiD consists of two potential patient eligibility pathways: Track 1 and Track 2. The Track 2 pathway is a more involved and rigorous assessment process for individuals whose death may not be reasonably foreseeable while seeking to balance personal autonomy and support for vulnerable individuals.
Join us for an evening of learning about the Track 2 legislation assessment process, the provincial MAiD processes, and highlights of the emerging research.
