This intake form assists patients in understanding whether they are eligible for medical aid in dying and the steps required. We recognize that contemplating end-of-life decisions can be an emotionally challenging experience for you and those close to you. The Academy is here to offer support as you explore the option of medical aid in dying. We hope to provide comprehensive information to help you make a well-informed choice that aligns with your values and wishes. Additional answers to questions about the path to aid in dying in preparation for medical aid in dying are also available on their website: 

• Medical Aid in Dying: A Guide for Patients and their Supporters
• Instructions for Mixing Aid-in-Dying Medications
• Video: An enactment of an Aid-in-Dying Day at the Bedside 

About the organization: The American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying grew from the remarkably successful 2020 National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying at UC Berkeley, and the 2023 National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying, in Portland, Oregon. The Academy extends the work of these conferences, informing and educating clinicians about medical aid in dying, from clinical discussions to evidence-based knowledge, from nursing care to the work of volunteers at the bedside, from medical ethics to pharmacology, and more.  

Unlike many medical academies, the American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying does not have specially-privileged members. We advocate open and accessible information, so all clinicians and interested parties are welcome to every aspect of the Academy’s work.
