PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This educational program will aim to discuss cannabidiol use for medical disorders, specifically epilepsy. The content will compare cannabidiol from other cannabis-related products, illustrate the mechanisms of action of cannabidiol for epilepsy, and review current clinical data in this area, and discuss the importance of shared decision making in clinical practice, including education on the efficacy and safety profiles of cannabidiol to address misconceptions with patients and caregivers.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of neurologists and neurology advanced practice providers (APPs) involved in the management of patients with neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, for whom cannabidiol may be a valid therapeutic option.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
- Describe the differentiating factors of cannabidiol from other cannabis products and the FDA-approved cannabidiol from over-the-counter (OTC) cannabidiol products
- Evaluate the mechanisms of action (MoA) of cannabidiol in epilepsy and emerging neurologic disorders of interest
- Assess the available and ongoing clinical data which will inform the benefit and risk profile of cannabidiol in epilepsy and emerging neurologic disorders and the data gaps in individualized cannabidiol dosing
- Apply shared decision making (SDM) skills, including education on the efficacy and safety of cannabidiol, to address its inaccurate misconceptions with patients and caregivers

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This educational program will address cannabidiol use for medical disorders, specifically epilepsy. In this podcast, we review current clinical data on CBD in epilepsy and discuss the importance of shared decision making and multidisciplinary care. Through this we hope to help close the knowledge gaps of both clinicians and patients who are considering therapeutic CBD use for their patients with epilepsy.
