CANNABIS PHYSICIANS FOUND ORGANIZATION TO ENSURE HIGH QUALITY CARE
The founding of the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine (AACM) was announced today by its Board of Directors.
The AACM is a an association of doctors and researchers active in the field of medical cannabis.
The AACM recognizes that there are doctors making cannabis recommendations to patients using methods best described as minimalist medicine.
The AACM will bring an end to this inappropriate practice, by establishing standards to which all medical marijuana doctors must adhere. Additionally, the organization will recognize skilled practitioners by conferring board certification.
Toward that end, the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine has developed certifying practice standards, and guidelines for physicians who recommend the medicinal use of cannabis.
“Several years ago, the federal government released inaccurate, misleading information about medical cannabis,” remarked Dr. Bearman, AACM’s Credentialing expert.
“We realized then that there was a need to provide people with accurate, timely information about research in this important new field, so our organization will focus on this as well.”
The physicians in governance positions at AACM represent a diversity of experience in clinical practice, clinical research, and policy-making positions. The board includes specialists in Rehabilitative Medicine, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Public Health, Family Practice, Addiction Medicine and medical geography.
Members of the AACM Board of Directors are:
Greg Carter MD, President
Sunil Aggarwall Ph.D., Vice President for Research and Outreach
David Bearman MD, Vice President for Credentialing & Quality
Jeffrey Hergenrather MD, Vice President/Secretary
Christopher Fitchner MD, Vice President for Public Policy
Frank Lucido MD, Vice President for Public Information
David G. Ostrow, MD, Ph.D., Vice President for Education
