Cannabis in the Patient and Legal Conundrums
CE accreditation has expired for this course, but you may still view the presentation.
Cannabis products in the veterinary industry have become a hot topic in the media lately and little is known about the products on the market, including their safety or efficacy.
Unfortunately, while cannabis may have potential for treating ailments, the products on the market are illegal as well as potentially dangerous. Therefore, veterinarians should not stock, treat with, or recommend cannabis products as this usage could result in a formal investigation by the Veterinary Board in the state in which they are licensed.

“This program has been approved for 1.0 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval; program #85-5801671.” Non-medical Program, Non-interactive/Anytime.
In many jurisdictions, programs sponsored by the AAEP are considered valid CE regardless of RACE approval. Each state board has its own requirements regarding the number of online (also known as: distance, anywhere, non-interactive) credits that may be applied toward licensure. There may also be restrictions on the number of non-medical (i.e. business or wellness) credits that apply toward licensure. Enrollees in online CE should check with their state veterinary board for complete information.
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will receive a downloadable .pdf certificate of completion. This form is for your own records. DO NOT SEND TO AAEP. Use this record to help you meet license renewal or academy requirements. Your certificate will reside in your AAEP Anywhere dashboard: select “My Account” and then “My Certificates.” A copy of the certificate is automatically emailed to you upon completing a course. Store the emailed certificate in an easily accessible place for your records.
Documentation of this type for license renewal and tax deduction purposes is similar. The individual licensed veterinarian is responsible for the accuracy of his or her own CE records. A license renewal form is a legal document that cannot be falsified without risking the loss of your license.
