Dr Janice Makela has over 20 years of experience in Geriatric Medicine, Hospice and Palliative Care, and Internal Medicine. She is also an expert in Cannabis Medicine.
While Dr. Makela is highly skilled in making complex medical concepts accessible and easy to understand, she also has years of experience lecturing to medical professionals.
Recently, with the increased availability of medical and recreational cannabis. Dr. Makela noticed a knowledge gap. Clinicians don’t know much about cannabinoids or the endocannabinoid system. and members of the cannabis industry don’t know much about clinical medicine. As someone with knowledge of both, she aims to rectify that.
Dr. Makela is available to talk about medical cannabis to doctors, medical staff, healthcare systems, educational institutions, financial stakeholders in the cannabis industry, cannabis dispensaries, senior citizens, medical patients, scientific advisory panels, or any place education may be needed. She will tailor the lecture she gives to the needs of her audience. While she has a broad breath of medical understanding, her skills in geriatrics and palliative care, means she is especially adept at talking about cannabis use in the geriatric population, oncology patients, and at the end of life.
Of course, in addition to talking about cannabis, Dr. Makela is also available to talk about any topic related to Geriatrics or Hospice and Palliative Care. This would include discussions about dementia, advanced directives, LGBT senior care and end of life issues, geriatric care needs, and hospice.
As each lecture is custom make to the needs of the client, please schedule at least a week in advance of your event.
