Over 200,000 Australians are currently cannabis-dependent. So next time you see a patient with a chronic cough, depression or anxiety, ask yourself: Could cannabis be the missing piece of the puzzle?
NCPIC has launched an Active Leaning Module (ALM) for General Practitioners (GPs).
An ALM is an online training program, accredited by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, that they complete independently that contributes towards their professional development requirements.
The module requires GPs to work through a series of readings and exercises on how to treat and screen patients with problems related to cannabis use, and then record 10 case summaries with their patients experiencing this problem.
The NCPIC ALM is a joint initiative with Healthed, an education provider for health professionals, and is now available to complete either online or download from this link.
