[12 min watch] With the launch of our new online Professional Diploma of Medicinal Cannabis program – the first university-reviewed program in medicinal cannabis for doctors in Australia – Dr Joe Kosterich recently held an insightful webinar on the uses and benefits of medicinal cannabis in primary care.

To address the significant number of questions that arose from this webinar, we have compiled a four-part FAQ video series with Dr Kosterich. In the final video in the four-part series, Dr Kosterich answers your most common questions about the evidence surrounding the use of medicinal cannabis in primary care (and so much more!).

Watch the full video with Dr Joe Kosterich over on the HealthCert Community at this post. HealthCert alumni are invited to join the HealthCert Community anytime for free.

Just a couple of the many questions covered during the FAQ session include:

• Can you please detail the evidence base to date for medicinal cannabis?
• When you say there is evidence in cannabis use for chronic pain, is there randomised control trial showing significant benefits?
