Tuesday, December 12, 2023, 12:00 AM - Friday, December 11, 2026, 11:59 PM, On Demand

Stanford DEA MATE provides on demand content that covers a range of topics related to opioid prescribing and pain management required by the Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act. This course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved in considering cannabinoids for pediatric pain management, without advocating for its use. The focus is to enhance knowledge, foster critical thinking, and advance clinical practices based on current evidence and safety considerations. Participants will delve into the potential implications of cannabinoid exposure on the developing pediatric brain, analyze the latest research, and dissect the challenges faced due to the lack of standardized treatments in this emerging area of medicine. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the critical skills needed to evaluate the risks and benefits of cannabinoids in pediatric pain, ensuring patient safety remains at the forefront of care.
