Association of Medical Certified Doctors Continues to Grow in Ohio

The State of Ohio continues to see the number of residents requesting a recommendation for a MMJ card increase. In order to meet the needs of patients seeking these recommendations, the number of certified doctors continues to increase as well. The association of medical certified doctors for recommending medical cannabis allows long time and newly certified doctors to meet and discuss this treatment option for patients. 

Medical Marijuana is not discussed in medical school, so it is the responsibility of certified doctors to learn fact from fiction concerning medical cannabis. Originally, the association consisted of only a handful of doctors. Now, over 650+ doctors are certified to recommend medical marijuana to patients. This is only one percent of the state’s practicing physicians, but the number is expected to grow over the new few years. 

The association meets monthly to discuss the latest news surrounding medical marijuana and to discuss potential treatment options. Every patient is unique and so should their treatment plan. The current requirements for the certification leave many newly certified doctors with questions about how to appropriately recommend medical marijuana. The association aims to provide further education and guidance to ensure patients receive proper recommendations. 

To ensure the safety of all doctors in the network, the association now meets virtually. Before the COVID-19 era began, the association would meet in person and allow all doctors to network. This allowed for more one-on-one conversations and in-depth exchange of knowledge regarding medical cannabis.
