CME Activity
Activity Information
This is an un-timed, self-guided CME activity, similar to an “open-book” exam. Please review the STEM website as you answer the questions. All of the information you will need can be found in the Clinician Resources and Evidence Syntheses materials.
Correct responses will be revealed as you advance through the questionnaire. You may return to previous questions to change your responses.
Learning Objectives
After taking this course, you should be able to:
- Understand basic terminology about cannabis including formulations, routes of administration, dosing, and key cannabinoids.
- Describe to patients what is known about the effects of cannabis on conditions such as chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Define the prevalence of and risk factors for cannabis use disorder.
- Understand health effects of cannabis in specific subpopulations such as pregnant women and adolescents/young adults.
Target Audience
Health care providers who practice in primary care or mental health care settings.
The goal of STEM is to empower clinicians to have evidence-informed discussions about the health effects of cannabis with patients. The majority of the US adult population can now access cannabis through licensed dispensaries without a clinicians’ certification or prescription. Therefore, the perspective of this CME activity is that of the clinician who will be in a position to counsel patients about cannabis use, whether medicinal or recreational, rather than the clinician who would be certifying patients for use of medicinal cannabis.
