This course aims to educate medical professionals about the science and safety of cannabis. We recognize the need for primary care providers to acquire knowledge about non-opioid approaches for controlling pain. This includes neuropathic, inflammatory, musculoskeletal, and cancer-associated pain. The class is open to physicians and allied healthcare professionals who are seeking factual information about cannabis.
