Precision Dosing: Titration and Initiation of Medicinal Cannabis
About the workshop
This hands-on workshop is tailored for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their practical expertise in the safe and effective use of medicinal cannabis. It offers a comprehensive approach to mastering precision dosing, equipping participants with the tools needed to confidently initiate and adjust treatments for diverse patient populations.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of cannabinoid pharmacology and how factors such as THC:CBD ratios, patient-specific conditions, and therapeutic goals influence dosing decisions. Through guided, interactive exercises and real-world clinical scenarios, attendees will practice calculating initial doses, implementing titration strategies, and addressing challenges like side effects and patient adherence.
This workshop fosters active learning and collaboration, providing opportunities to apply evidence-based principles in simulated case studies. By the end of the session, participants will be able to design individualized treatment plans and make informed, patient-centered decisions to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes in their clinical practice.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
Explain the foundational concepts of THC, CBD, and cannabinoid ratios, including their therapeutic windows and patient-specific considerations
Implement strategies to initiate, adjust, and monitor doses systematically to optimise patient outcomes while minimising side effects
Create tailored therapeutic approaches that address unique patient needs, conditions, and preferences using evidence-based practices
Apply dosing principles and titration methods in real-world cases, ensuring safe and effective integration into clinical practice
