This course bundle is comprised of 2 courses: “Cannabis and Cannabinoids in Clinical Practice” and “Cannabis Use Disorder and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.” Designed for today’s clinical environment, “Cannabis and Cannabinoids in Clinical Practice” bridges the gap between cannabis science and patient care. It provides a clear, evidence based foundation to help clinicians confidently counsel patients on cannabis use, evaluate therapeutic applications, and recognize risks. Key topics include how cannabinoids work in the body, cannabinoid pharmacology, clinical effects, risks and contraindications of cannabis use, and cannabis-related disorders. “Cannabis Use Disorder and Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome” covers presentation, diagnostic criteria, screening tools, cannabis withdrawal, treatment strategies, and management of recurrent nausea and vomiting. Key concepts are introduced and reinforced through clinically relevant case scenarios.

Climate change, recognized by The Lancet as the “biggest global health threat of the 21st century,” is intensifying wildfires, hurricanes, and extreme weather events that degrade air quality, disrupt communities, and lead to widespread illness. These shifts strain the social determinants of health, with climate-related effects resembling an emergency department triage list: heat-induced fainting, respiratory issues from pollution, vector-borne diseases, and trauma from extreme weather events. This course delves into the root causes of climate-driven disasters and equips participants with strategies for disaster response and resilience planning including vulnerability assessments and climate action plans.

Course dates: 2:00–5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, October 28, 30, November 2, 2026 (Virtual portion), all day November 7–8, 2026 (In-person portion)
