National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying

The National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying has announced a call for proposals from potential speakers.

Please see the tentative curriculum for guidance. This is intended as a guide only. The organizers encourage you to propose additional presentations, discussions, panels or training opportunities. You do not have to be an academic, authority or expert to submit a proposal. You, should, however, have clinical (or systems) experience related to patient care. 

NCCMAID encourages proposals from all levels of care--from program administrators to clinical ethicists to doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, pharmacists, volunteers and others involved in patient care. They are particularly interested in patient case histories, ethical or social patient and family dilemmas, systems organization, nursing issues, the science of medical aid in dying as applied at the bedside, access questions, and more. 

Please use your imagination and skills to think of what you have learned through your own experiences and how that might help others to improve care for patients with medical aid in dying requests. 

All proposals must be submitted by September 30, 2019.
