“The course has been specifically developed for medical students, doctors and healthcare professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of cannabis as a medicine.

“We also take a deep dive into ten conditions for which cannabis is currently prescribed. Experienced clinicians discuss how they prescribe medical cannabis for each condition and patients comment on how a prescription has impacted their quality of life.

“We believe the medical cannabis industry should be patient-centric and we wanted to be sure their voices were heard.”
