You will learn the medical applications of cannabinoids in general practice as a tool to improve patient outcomes and take a holistic approach to their care. In addition, you will access published studies, peer reviewed research and various learning resources that will help debunk the misinformation and preconceived ideas about CBD and its uses in mainstream medicine.

Exploring the new generation of medicine, the online program will enable you to stay ahead of the curve in managing common conditions in primary care, including pain, anxiety, insomnia, cancer, autoimmune disorders, IBS, autism, diabetes, hypertension, respiratory conditions, skin conditions and many more.

This evidence-based, science-backed program teaches how and why medicinal cannabis works, enabling you to confidently take control of patient care. At the completion of the program, you will understand the science behind medicinal cannabis, the relevant indications and contraindications so you can make recommendations to the appropriate patients, and how to make the Special Access Scheme-B (SAS-B) application on the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) online portal.
