Abstract:

Will review how we have incorporated medical Cannabis into palliative care in a legal/safe/effective method over the last 7 years. A multi-disciplinary team consisting of physician, nurse practitioner, RN, MA, pharmacist and biochemist synchronize and individualize this modality in a concierge type program. Will provide both outcomes and practical perspectives. With a rapidly growing patient population by which to monitor and track successful outcomes; we are uniquely qualified to share successful alternative therapy regimens applied with the highest standards to fellow practitioners and regulatory bodies alike. We have created a network of partners and resources that combine to allow us to offer application of medicinal Cannabis is this setting. Will demonstrate the effectiveness with actual case discussions.
