An upcoming webinar titled: Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada Health Care Perspectives is being broadcast on September 21, 2017 from 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET.
This 90 minute webinar provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about these important matters:
- What Does Medical Assistance in Dying (AKA Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide) look like in Canada?
- What does it mean for the Catholic Health Care community?
Registration cost is $20.00 until September 1, then $30.00
Led by Dr. Christopher De Bono, PhD, MDiv, this workshop will provide the critical historical context on MAiD and will focus primarily on the tensions as well as opportunities that MAiD represents in both acute and residential care settings. Clinical, ethical and pastoral theological lenses will be brought to bear on the phenomenon.
Dr. De Bono is currently the Vice President of Mission, Ethics and Spirituality for Providence Health Care in Vancouver, BC. He is a Roman Catholic pastoral/practical theologian with specialized clinical training in Spiritual Care and a post doc in Clinical/Organizational ethics.
