Episode 8: Stefanie Talks Medical Assistance in Dying

An erudite, engaging and human conversation with Dr. Stefanie Green about Medical Assistance in Dying.

After obtaining her medical degree at McGill University in 1993, Dr. Green completed a residency in Family Medicine and then fellowships in Palliative Care and Infant and Maternal Health. She enjoyed a full-spectrum, academic family medicine teaching practice with a strong focus on multicultural maternity and newborn care.

After more than 20 years in practice, and in conjunction with a change in federal law, Dr. Green re-focused her work in 2016 on medical assistance in dying (MAiD). She has experienced the work, the people, and their families as extraordinary, and is constantly aware of the deep privilege of being invited into such an intimate time in another person’s life.

Dr. Green is a co-founder and the current President of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP), and author of "This Is Assisted Dying".
