We’re honored that Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple is joining us for a conversation with University of Illinois faculty, staff, and students to CRI’s Research Spotlight Series event: Introducing the Medical Cannabis Competency Framework: Evidence, Rationale, and Relevance.
This session offers space for deeper discussion across the University of Illinois and its campuses.
What to expect
- An overview of the recently published JAMA Network Open article, Developing Medical Cannabis Competencies, and its six
- evidence-based domains for medical education.
- A brief look at accompanying commentary, Cannabis Education—A Professional and Moral Obligation for Physicians, which expands on the framework’s implications for curriculum design and clinician preparedness.
- Insights from Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple, a coauthor of the framework, on implications for preparing future clinicians.
- A discussion of how educators can begin aligning existing curricula with emerging competency-based standards.
See you there!
