CME course for Italian healthcare professionals

On Friday 18 October, the Italian non-profit organisation Tutela Pazienti Cannabis Medica will be holding a course for Italian healthcare professionals, with which 9 CME points can be earned. All speakers are doctors or pharmacists and have experience in prescribing or dispensing medicinal cannabis. Bedrocan is sponsoring this course as it supports the dissemination of science-based information about medicinal cannabis.

Italian healthcare professionals

The course is aimed at Italian healthcare professionals from the city of Rome and the larger Lazio region. It explains how medicinal cannabis can be prescribed and dispensed in the Lazio region, specifically. Each region in Italy has different rules, making doctors often confused about how to prescribe medicinal cannabis and for which conditions.

At the end of the course, the participants will have a clear picture of the legislation in all Italian regions, how reimbursement of medicinal cannabis is arranged and which medical applications of cannabis there are, including the treatment of pain.
