New Research Study:
HCP Perceptions on Drug Interactions

Kojo Abanyie, PharmD is inviting dispensary pharmacists to participate in a research study to understand how clinicians manage potential interactions between medicinal cannabis and prescription medications in dispensary settings. Your insights are crucial in informing the development of clinical decision support
tools for making informed decisions regarding potential natural product drug interactions as a result of concurrent cannabis and prescription medication use.

• Survey Duration: 30 minutes – 1 hour
• Compensation: Participants will receive a $60 debit card after completing the interview (after taxes).

There are no foreseeable risks associated with this research project, and all responses will be kept confidential in password-protected files. Your participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time.

If you or a colleague are willing to participate, please contact Kojo at koa27@pitt.edu for more information or schedule an interview time.

ISO: Speakers for Podcast

We are looking for members to speak on the different roles of the pharmacist in the Cannabis industry, as part of our ongoing Inside the Canna Industry series. Potential topics that are available include Dispensary pharmacist (how did we miss such an obvious role!), Regulatory (for those involved with government oversight programs), and Academia (especially if your coursework is part of a PharmD program).

We are also looking to continue our State of Cannabis series and are looking for presenters to speak about the laws and nature of the medical/adult-use program in their state. We can partner you with a pharmacy student to help with the presentation slides if you need assistance.

If you are interested, please reply to this email or email us directly at info@cannabispharmacist.org
