It was a show!!! Very worthwhile! I appreciate every second of knowledge!

General Surgeon, SC

The Wecann Academy training with all the experts really made a difference in my life! I had never received endocannabinoid medicine education before.

Frequently Asked Questions

WeCann’s International Certification in Endocannabinoid Medicine is designed for medical students and physicians of all specialties who wish to broaden their therapeutic arsenal and gain confidence and safety in prescribing endocannabinoid medicines to their patients.

The course and all learning tools are available for up to 6 months after the class start date. For class 6, which will start on October 29, this period will be extended for another 6 months, for a total of 1 year of access.

The International Certification in Endocannabinoid Medicine classes are 100% online. And unlike most medical courses, the certification classes are broadcast live with simultaneous translation into Portuguese, English, and Spanish. However, for students who are unable to attend or who want to revisit the content later, all lessons will be recorded and available on the platform.
The Endocannabinoid Medicine is already a reality in more than 40 countries and helps thousands of people in Brazil and in the world to live healthier and with more quality of life. Currently, there are more than 19 medicines approved by ANVISA for sale in pharmacies in Brazil, and the access tends to be more and more expanded. Furthermore, these medicines tend to become way more financially accessible, so you’ll be sure that your patient has access to the medicines.

Most of our students have taken other courses before and some of them are even prescribing already. However, many of them report that they were only able to feel safe enough to prescribe for more complex cases after completing WeCann’s international certification.

We have even found in our research that the vast majority of our students start prescribing just 1 month after completing the certification.

So, yes! The physician who already practices Endocannabinoid Medicine not only can, but should, take the certification, because he or she will gain even more knowledge and a wide range of materials and in-depth technical and scientific knowledge.

Besides the access to a global community of colleagues who are extending their practice and can help you further improve your results.

The International Certification in Endocannabinoid Medicine is a class-based training, open only a few times a year. This is the last class of the year, so if you don’t guarantee your place now, you can only get a new subscription next year.

As mentioned earlier, WeCann’s International Certification in Endocannabinoid Medicine only opens a few times a year. So, if the opportunity to apply is open, don’t miss it.

If you request cancellation within 14 days of purchase, we will refund 100% of the amount invested.
