New Consensus on Cannabis Education | Dr. Ethan Russo & Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple

In this episode, Janette Rodriguez and Dr. Mikhail Kogan co-host an in-depth conversation with Dr. Ethan Russo and Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple, co-authors of the groundbreaking publication “Developing Medical Cannabis Competencies: A Consensus Statement” — newly released in JAMA Network Open (October 2025). This discussion explores the origin, purpose, and implications of this national consensus on medical cannabis education — the first to define standardized competencies for healthcare training across medical schools and continuing education. Together, the guests discuss how this framework can help bridge long-standing knowledge gaps among clinicians, harmonize curriculum standards, and guide the responsible integration of cannabinoid medicine into modern healthcare. Drs. Russo and Mendoza Temple draw on their decades of clinical and research experience to highlight opportunities and challenges in advancing cannabinoid science — from evolving evidence on safety and efficacy to the path toward DEA rescheduling and national curriculum adoption.
