The University of Maryland
The University of Maryland became the first University in the United States to offer a graduate degree in medical cannabis when it launched a new Master of Science (MS) in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics this June. The two-year programme will “provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to support patients and the medical cannabis industry, add to existing research in the field, and develop well-informed medical cannabis policy.” It aims to meet the needs of all individuals interested in advancing their knowledge about medical cannabis, including health care professionals such as physicians, nurses, and pharmacists; scientists and regulators; growers and dispensary owners; and policy and industry professionals, the university said in a release.
