Join me at the Mall of America Radisson Blu for Intricate Landscape of Medical Aid in Dying: Preparing for Changes in Policy and Practice. This will be a Tuesday keynote at the annual meeting of the Minnesota Network of Hospice and Palliative Care.
As Minnesota considers the potential passing of the End-of-Life Option Act, there is an urgent need to educate and prepare healthcare professionals for the complexities of medical aid in dying (MAID). This session aims to equip participants with the knowledge and introspection necessary to navigate this emotionally charged topic with competence and compassion. Patients and their families are already seeking guidance on MAID from clinicians. MNHPC is uniquely positioned to lead the way in ensuring that healthcare providers are prepared to deliver thoughtful and ethical care while honoring their neutral position. This keynote will feature an interdisciplinary panel of experts who will delve into the history, legislation, and practice of MAID, offering diverse perspectives from within the medical community and broader society. Recognizing the deeply personal and ethical considerations involved, this session will also provide a vital space for healthcare professionals to reflect on their beliefs and values with their fellow colleagues. A breakout session will allow participants to engage in guided discussions, fostering connection and deeper understanding of how MAID may impact their practice.
