The CCIC accredited educational program for 2009 (ACE 2009) reached over 500 health care practitioners in over 25 locations across Canada. The feedback was very positive and we we were able to secure sufficient support to undertake a second program in 2010 (ACE 2010). The Case-Based Learning Program reached over 300 health care practitioners in over 15 locations across canada.

The CCIC currently has three cannabinoid education programs available online. Two activities are available through the McGill University CME website. These activities present background information on cannabinoids and medical cannabis and present up-to-date cannabinoid research. A case-based online activity is also available through VitalCME.com. This new addition to the online cannabinoid education tools deals with practical aspects of using cannabinoids in patient care.

Cannabinoid Poster

The CCIC worked with a graduate of the University of Toronto, Biomedical Communications Program to create a unique educational poster on cannabinoids. You may have seen it at the CCIC conference booth.

This unique poster captures in one diagram the complexities of cannabinoid physiology and the endocannabinoid system in a colorful and exciting way that reflects the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids.
