Did any of you ever get the feeling in school that it simply was not OK to speak about wanting to be successful? To get into the nitty gritty details of how to make money in practice? Maybe you were even someone like me who was directly told by someone in a position of power that I needed to take what I could get because in private practice, I wouldn’t make money.
PCOM Offering Cannabis Certificate
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine is now offering a Medical Cannabis Certificate for Healthcare Professionals. The three-course online curriculum features live classes and practical assignments, focusing on the endocannabinoid system and pharmacology, and clinical medical cannabis guidelines and professional practice. The third course is a cannabis care capstone that requires students to "design a practical and/or professional project that [aligns] with your goals as a cannabis practitioner."
According to PCOM, it is the first regionally accredited institution to offer a college-level medical cannabis certificate. It is also offering bonus guest lectures via a partnership with Oakland, Calif.-based Oaksterdam University, "the first cannabis college ... the leading, trusted cannabis educational and policy brain-trust in the world."
"Patients deserve expert care," said Carey Clark, PhD, program chair. "They need reliable information about potential drug interactions, how to procure quality cannabinoid medications, and how to safely use the medicine for maximum relief of symptoms and minimal side effects."
