Canadian Journal of MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying)

CAMAP has launched the Canadian Journal of MAiD, a new academic journal dedicated to the study of medical assistance in dying. 

The journal is intended to be both a reflection of and a response to the complexity and growing relevance of MAiD in contemporary Canadian healthcare. They want to foster the development of high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship that can inform clinical practice, ethical reflection, policy development, and public understanding. They aim to provide a scholarly home for the diverse perspectives that shape MAiD in Canada and to cultivate a culture of respectful and well-informed dialogue on this profoundly important topic.

The first issue includes these five articles:

• Strategizing a Qualitative Research Agenda for the Evolving Practice of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Track 2 
• Palliative Care and Medical Assistance in Dying: The State of the Relationship in Canada 
• A Snapshot of Monitoring and Oversight of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada 
• What Does an Ideal Model for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Coordination Look Like? 
• Is Structural Marginalization Driving Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada? Interpreting Observational Data, Social Context, and Regulatory Reports
