The West Virginia Medical Cannabis Program Required Course Bundle has been approved by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau for Public Health, Office of Medical Cannabis and satisfies the West Virginia educational requirements to become a practitioner with the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Program.

This course introduces the reader to the endocannabinoid system and its interaction with the components of the cannabis plant, and addresses administration, therapeutic use, drug metabolism, physiologic and cognitive effects, potential risks, and drug interactions.

The use of marijuana in obstetric patients, pediatric patients, adolescent patients and elderly patients is discussed in detail. Important considerations for patients with ischemic heart disease, hepatic disease, psychotic illness, and those with a history of drug dependence are provided.

This course bundle also addresses the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in clinical care, and the information will assist clinicians in effectively treating and counseling CBD consumers. The physiological effects of CBD, CBD drug interactions, CBD’s side effects, and the conditions for which CBD has been shown by evidence-based clinical studies to be efficacious are all discussed in this course bundle.

Comprehensive training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, a cutting-edge, psychologically-informed approach to chronic pain recovery. This four-week virtual program combines self-paced video lessons with live interactive trainings, equipping mental health and healthcare professionals with evidence-based tools to help patients overcome pain. 12 CEU/CMEs available.

From October to December, 2022, 50% of the proceeds from this course will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Despite the advances in breast cancer detection and treatment, on the psychological side, clinicians who have been involved in the emotional care of cancer patients can report that a breast cancer diagnosis can nevertheless generate many concerns for patients, as well as their families. Psychological interventions for breast cancer patients have well-documented success in reducing distress and enhancing psychosocial adaptation to disease. As such, these interventions have been highlighted as important mechanisms by which physical health can be improved. This activity focuses on the common issues that impact psychological adjustment to breast cancer and interventions that will help optimize care in the cancer context.
