International Medical Cannabis Training | The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society

As medical cannabis laws change internationally, clinicians need clear, practical and evidence-informed education they can trust. The Society supports doctors, pharmacists, nurses, healthcare educators, policymakers and clinical teams to build knowledge, confidence and safe practice in cannabinoid medicine.

Our international training is led by experienced UK medical cannabis clinicians, including Professor Mike Barnes, and is designed to support countries at different stages of medical cannabis access, regulation and clinical development.

Supporting clinicians around the world

The Society has already delivered medical cannabis education for clinicians in Greece, Malaysia, Panama, Malta and Romania.

Our training is tailored to the needs of each country, organisation or clinical group. We recognise that legal frameworks, prescribing pathways, product availability and patient access vary widely between countries. For this reason, our international education is designed to combine core clinical teaching with local context.

Why choose MCCS international training?

The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society is an independent, not-for-profit community led by experienced clinicians working in medical cannabis. Our training is:

clinically led
evidence informed
practical and relevant to real-world care
independent of commercial product promotion
tailored to local legal and clinical context
suitable for multidisciplinary healthcare audiences

We understand the challenges faced by clinicians in countries where medical cannabis access is new, limited or changing. Our role is to provide balanced, responsible education that supports safe practice and informed decision-making.
