Medical assistance in dying (MAID) processes are complex, shaped by legislated directives, and influenced by the discourse regarding its emergence as an end-of-life care option. Physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) are essential in determining the patient’s eligibility and conducting MAID provisions. This research explored the exogenous factors influencing physicians’ and NPs’ non-participation in formal MAID processes. Using an interpretive description methodology, we interviewed 17 physicians and 18 NPs in Saskatchewan, Canada, who identified as non-participators in MAID. The non-participation factors were related to (a) the health care  system  they work within, (b) the  communities  where they live, (c) their current  practice  context, (d) how their participation choices were  visible  to others, (e) the  risks  of participation to themselves and others, (f)  time  factors, (g) the impact of participation on the  patient’s family , and (h)  patient–HCP  relationship, and contextual factors. Practice considerations to support the evolving social contact of care were identified.
