SATA FAQs

Unfortunately, the regulatory bodies for physicians require that they only treat patients within the province they are licensed in. For now, only Canadian patients in BC with an MSP number are able to register for courses. We hope to expand programming to other provinces as we expand our physician team to those with licenses in other provinces.

These programs are designed to help you live your best life with the diagnosis of terminal illness. It’s best to participate shortly after you receive your diagnosis, whether or not you are receiving life prolonging treatments or on the waiting list for transplant.

For our Pre-Fatal Classes, caregivers are welcome to register and attend, even if the patient themselves does not want to aprticipate. We ask if both patient and caregiver want to participate, that both register for the class and are welcome to join on the same or different computer. Sometimes caregivers don’t want to ask questions in front of their loved one or vice versa so participating from different computers, if possible, is a good option.

For our other courses, Best Three Months and New Beginnings Without End, we hope to provide a caregiver offering at a later time.

For the Best Three Months and New Beginnings without End courses, you will be participating in small groups and connecting on a deeply personal level.

For Prefatal Classes, we will be providing you with a numerical sign-on alias so you and your caregiver will remain anonymous to the rest of the group participants.
