Please recommend these courses to your doctor or other medical professionals.

The use of cannabis in medicine is gaining increasing importance in Switzerland – however, many medical professionals still lack in-depth experience with this form of therapy. This makes it all the more important to impart sound knowledge and practical skills. Good continuing education in this area makes a crucial contribution to ensuring that patients can benefit from effective, safe, and professionally supervised therapies.

The events organized by PHYTOMED AG provide in-depth knowledge about the pharmacological properties of cannabinoids and their growing importance in modern medicine – especially in pain therapy, palliative medicine, oncology, psychiatry and neurology.

The training courses are aimed at physicians of various specialties and pharmacists. No prior knowledge is required.
