The legalization of recreational cannabis across Canada has revealed the importance of medical education on cannabis-related topics. A recent study has indicated that Canadian physicians report a significant gap in current versus desired knowledge regarding the therapeutic use of cannabis. However, the state of education on cannabis has never been studied in Canadian medical schools. This article presents the preliminary findings of a survey conducted to understand the perceptions of Quebec's medical students regarding cannabis-related teachings in their current curriculum. Overall, students reported very low to low levels of exposure to, knowledge of, and comfort levels with cannabis-related subjects. The majority of students reported that they felt that their medical curricula did not prepare them to face cannabis-related issues in their future practices. Strategies need to be developed for improving medical school curriculum regarding cannabis-related issues. These findings provide potential key strategies to improve curricula.
加拿大全国范围内娱乐用大麻合法化凸显了大麻相关主题医学教育的重要性。最近一项研究表明，加拿大医生报告称，在大麻治疗用途方面，目前的知识水平与期望的知识水平之间存在显著差距。然而，加拿大医学院从未对大麻教育状况进行过研究。本文介绍了一项调查的初步结果，该调查旨在了解魁北克医学生对其当前课程中与大麻相关教学内容的看法。总体而言，学生报告称，他们接触、了解大麻相关主题的程度很低，且对这些主题感到不适。大多数学生表示，他们觉得自己的医学课程没有让他们为在未来的医疗实践中面对与大麻相关的问题做好准备。需要制定策略来改进医学院关于大麻相关问题的课程。这些研究结果为改进课程提供了潜在的关键策略。
