The interactive eLearning modules were designed in response to a reported gap in health care practitioner knowledge regarding cannabis and older adults. An extensive literature review in conjunction with a needs assessment survey distributed by the Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health to physicians, nurse practitioners, students, older adults and caregivers to older adults informed the content. This course aims to ensure that healthcare providers have access to up-to-date evidence-based information regarding cannabis and older adults.

These modules have been designed for physicians, nurse practitioners, other health care practitioners and healthcare students who want to know about cannabis and older adults.
