Just for the information of the panel, I wanted to let you know that the Canadian Medical Association recognizes the need for physician education around physician-assisted dying, and we are currently developing educational programs for physicians. Dr. Branigan is actually an adviser.
We see two main aspects to these programs. One would be education for all physicians, so as a family physician, if I had a patient requesting physician-assisted dying, I would be able to have the early conversations and be able to access information and resources for the patient. The second part would be a more intensive training program for physicians who are willing to assist patients, and that would definitely go into some of the more complex issues, including the means and medication procedures involved as well.
