Train as a Clinical Fellow at CED Clinic

✨ CED Fellowship & Learning Lab: Personalized Cannabis Education

Transform your knowledge. Expand your reach. Elevate your care

 

Welcome to the CED Fellowship — More Than Just a Course (Finally)

Let’s be honest. Most cannabis education today? It’s just not up to par.

Click-to-complete CME videos. Recycled slideshows. “Expert” instructors who sound more like infomercial hosts than clinicians.

 

 

The CED Fellowship in Personalized Cannabis Education is different.

This is cannabis education designed for serious clinicians — practical, adaptable, and grounded in decades of patient care. No fluff. No filler.

Led personally by Dr. Benjamin Caplan, MD, one of the most experienced cannabis physicians in the world, this program helps you confidently integrate cannabis into patient care, no matter your specialty.

This isn’t just another certificate.

It’s mentorship — personal, patient-centered, clinically actionable, and evidence-based.

 

Why Cannabis Education Needs a Makeover

Cannabis is everywhere — conferences, journals, podcasts, even CME credits — but quality education? Rare.

The problems are obvious:

Misinformation dominates.

Most programs offer data without direction.

Even accredited cannabis CME courses often skip the critical question: How does this actually help my patient sitting in front of me?

What’s missing is clinical sensitivity — the art of applying cannabis to individual people, not just case studies.

At CED, we combine:

➕ The science

➕ The nuance

➕ The confidence-building mentorship

All so you can practice cannabis medicine in a way that’s safe, informed, and tailored.

 

The Fellowship: Structure & Flow

 

The Fellowship is simple, but powerful.

Three personalized, one-hour sessions, usually spread over three weeks — entirely one-on-one with Dr. Caplan.

You’ll choose three clinical topics most relevant to your patients, your role, or your practice goals. Options include:

Cannabis for anxiety and PTSD? Absolutely.

Sleep disorders, chronic pain, or cancer symptom management? Without question.

Geriatric care? End-of-life care? Preventative wellness? We’ve got you covered.

And if you’re not sure? Dr. Caplan will help you select topics that will make a difference.

Along the way, you’ll receive relevant readings, assignments, and the option (if you’d like) to observe real patient visits and follow-ups — something most cannabis trainings would never dare offer.

 

What You’ll Actually Learn

 

This isn’t about memorizing cannabinoid receptor names.

This is about how to use cannabis well, safely, and with sensitivity to patients’ needs.

You’ll come away knowing:

✔︎ How to apply cannabis therapy in a variety of clinical situations

✔︎ How to navigate stigma, patient skepticism, and clinical uncertainty

✔︎ How to explain cannabis clearly — without sounding like you just binge-watched YouTube

✔︎ How to avoid common mistakes in cannabis treatment

✔︎ And most importantly, how to blend evidence with real-world patient care
