Position

The Project Coordinator will support the research and knowledge translation activities of the "Medical assistance in dying (MAiD): Descriptions of and experiences with models across Canada" project, funded by Health Canada.

This project will conduct the first comprehensive national review of the various service delivery models in Canada for medical assistance in dying (MAiD) since the passage of MAID legislation in June 2016.

Through a jurisdictional scan and analysis of the perspectives of patients, families, service providers, administrators and policy makers, critical qualitative information will be produced.

The project will enhance knowledge about the different approaches to MAiD delivery and oversight, identify opportunities for improvements and potential for collaboration across jurisdictions in Canada.

Through an analysis of the experience of patients and families, it will also outline issues and concerns related to MAiD in Canada.

Knowledge translation is a key part of the research and will connect stakeholders representing the policy makers across Canada, patient groups and families, clinicians, members of the public with the research team and its outputs.
