MEDICAL CANNABIS PRACTITIONER PROGRAM (Pasadena)

Our program provides a hands-on approach to setting up and delivering medical cannabis services and products. Learn how to establish a compliant practice, source quality products, and provide exceptional patient care in the field of medical cannabis.

Medical Cannabis Practitioners

The National Institute of Health (NIH) identifies cannabis as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the individuals who provide CAM products and services, as Practitioners.  

As the demand for medicinal cannabis continues to grow, so does the need for skilled and knowledgeable medical cannabis practitioners.  Federal restrictions limit the information physicians can provide about cannabis, leaving many patients without essential knowledge for its safe and effective use.

Program Objectives

• Prepare participants to set up and operate a compliant medical cannabis service
• Provide  patient informational services 
• Recommend a treatment plan
• Provide quality cannabis products for medicinal use 
• Monitor and record patient outcomes
