Key Points Question Are nurse practitioners and physician assistants (advanced practice professionals [APPs]) willing to prescribe medications for medical aid in dying (MAID), and are they knowledgeable about and comfortable with prescribing medication or consulting for MAID? Findings In this survey study of 77 APPs at a comprehensive cancer center in Washington State, 51% reported that they were willing to prescribe and/or consult for MAID. However, depending on the question, 43% or fewer reported being comfortable or very comfortable and 27% or fewer reported being knowledgeable or very knowledgeable regarding behaviors integral to MAID participation. Meaning Advanced practice professionals may require preparation, including training, for the addition of MAID to their scope of practice.
