I am a primary care physician looking to authorize medical cannabis use for my patient, do I need to meet specific education and experiential requirements?

Posted July 8, 2020

Physicians wishing to authorize medical cannabis for a patient must register with CPSA as a cannabis authorizer. This can be done via expressing interest to the Cannabis for Medical Purposes program at CPSA through an email or the online form on this page. There are no educational or experiential pre-requisites.
