Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), 19–22 June 2021
Cannabinoid Education 360 hosted three expert-led symposia at the virtual 7th Congress of EAN. These included an engaging conversation on the role of evidence in medicine, a fascinating discussion between a neurologist and a psychopharmacologist that tackled key questions on cannabinoids, and an insight into the science of cannabinoids in which the audience tested their own knowledge! This congress was intended for a European neurologist audience and a summary report of the three EAN sessions is available on Neurology Academy.
