Description:
Medical cannabis therapy is gaining wider acceptance and interest in veterinary care for specific health indications as an adjunct to standard treatments.

This industry-first event is a rare opportunity for veterinary professionals to engage with the knowledge and clinical experience of their peers using medical cannabis judiciously in their treatment approach.

Renowned Australian veterinarians Dr Jaime Olsen (WA) and Dr Jennifer Robinson (VIC) have advocated for wider acceptance and access to medical cannabis where clinically appropriate, since it was rescheduled to a Schedule 4 medicine in 2017 for prescribed medical use in animals as well as humans.

In this live webinar, they generously share their respective journeys using medical cannabis with specific patients and how they have navigated this evolving area of medicine.
