“In a rural setting, we don’t have a lot of specialists. Even traveling for 30 miles for a patient can be extremely difficult.” — Dr. Christopher Park, DO
For rural physicians like Dr. Park, that means answering questions and providing guidance on everything from chronic pain management to medical cannabis. By staying informed, providers like him can help patients make safe, evidence-based decisions close to home.
At NCCRE, we work to equip healthcare professionals with trusted resources on their state’s medical cannabis program, safe use, and potential interactions, so they can confidently support their patients, no matter where they practice.
