As part of the two year agreement, Spectrum Therapeutics will collaborate with Tree of Knowledge’s partner clinic, Jack Nathan Health, to launch several e-learning modules on its online education platform for healthcare professionals practicing in Jack Nathan clinics.

Topics that will be covered include an overview of medical cannabis and best practices for prescribing and dosing as well as chronic pain management and opioid reduction.

Through its partnership with Jack Nathan Health, Tree of Knowledge will offer Chronic Pain Management and Medical Cannabis education programs in Jack Nathan clinics, which are located in 74 Walmart stores across six Canadian provinces and, on a combined basis, have more than 1.5 million patient visits annually. Jack Nathan Health also has six clinic locations in Mexico which are ideally positioned to support the opening of the Mexican medical cannabis market while leveraging Spectrum Therapeutics’ global expertise in patient and physician education.
