New York Launches Cannabis Health Training

New York just launched a groundbreaking initiative: the Center of Excellence for Cannabis Care and Health Equity, designed to train healthcare providers to safely and effectively guide patients using cannabis—especially those managing chronic conditions or on other medications. With major institutions like Albany Medical Center, SUNY Upstate, and the University of Rochester Medical Center on board, this statewide effort tackles the critical gap where patients avoid discussing cannabis with doctors and clinicians lack the tools to advise them. Through a Request for Proposals, they’re seeking experts to build targeted training programs—making New York the first state to proactively equip its healthcare system for this growing reality.
