Effective October 2, 2018, it became mandatory for all health care practitioners to consult and review California’s Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES) 2.0 system prior to prescribing, ordering, administering, or furnishing a Schedule II-IV controlled substance. It is imperative that physicians familiarize themselves with the requirements of this mandate in order to avoid liability risks and administrative sanctions. 

With the legalization of medical and recreational cannabis in California and an increasing rate of acceptance and use, many physicians are already working with patients who use cannabis.

Join us for CAP's next webinar to learn the basics of medical cannabis, the dilemma it poses for unprepared physicians as patients seek their advice on treatment, and the inconsistencies between state and federal laws.
