The Event

Medicine is being transformed

Medical cannabis has moved from the margins to the centre of global scientific debate. Leading universities are publishing studies that establish specific therapeutic applications of phytocannabinoids. ANVISA, Brazil's health regulator, has reclassified medical cannabis as a controlled medicine, formally recognising its clinical potential. Internationally recognised clinicians are already integrating this knowledge into protocols with proven, transformative results.

This is not the future. This is the present. And you need to be part of it now.

What it is

A scientific seminar on phytocannabinoids and evidence-based clinical practice, bringing together leading specialists to discuss advances in endocannabinoid medicine.

Who it is for

Exclusively for healthcare professionals seeking technical qualification: physicians, dentists, veterinarians, physiotherapists, pharmacists, researchers and students.

Purpose

High-level technical training, qualified scientific debate, strategic networking and professional updating on best prescribing and regulatory practice.

Format

Far-reaching hybrid: a premium in-person experience in Rio de Janeiro combined with a live online broadcast, with official certificate of attendance for every registrant.
