Two sessions. Two governance failures with direct patient safety consequences. Your patient’s cannabis use is clinically invisible. Your institution’s burnout response is structurally incapable of solving the problem. This track gives you a governance framework for both.
Your patient is on warfarin. Cannabis is not in their chart. This is not their failure — it is a governance failure. Thirty-five percent of primary care patients report using cannabis medically. Five percent have it documented. The interaction risk with warfarin, phenytoin, and immunosuppressants is not hypothetical. Session N1 gives nurses the clinical knowledge and governance framework to close that documentation gap.
Session N2 addresses nursing burnout with the same directness: organizational interventions produce significantly greater and more durable burnout reductions than individual interventions. The wellness program won’t solve it. Session N2 applies the Maslach six-domain burnout framework and Ulrich et al. (2008) evidence-based healthcare design standards to nursing specifically.

This specialty track is an add-on to the 15-session NSAG Core CE Program. The core curriculum must be completed before enrolling in this track. The core program introduces the four-tier governance framework, six-dimension scoring model, and module-specific evidence bases that this track builds on.
View Core CE Program →Both sessions in this track follow the same 60-minute structure. Pre-test and post-test are required for credit. The practice application exercise requires an active written or structured response.

Apply Maslach’s six person-job mismatch domains to a described nursing unit’s working conditions, identifying the three highest-priority organizational governance gaps
Distinguish organizational burnout interventions from individual interventions using Kiratipaisarl et al. (2024) meta-analysis findings and evaluate a described hospital burnout response program

The following is a representative hypothetical from this specialty track. Each session includes a practice application exercise based on a realistic institutional scenario. The model analysis below represents the level of analysis expected from practitioners completing this course.
This model analysis represents the depth of reasoning expected in the practice application exercise. The post-test (minimum 80%) assesses conceptual mastery of the session’s evidence base and governance framework.

The Medicine and Nursing tracks both address cannabis governance from their respective professional perspectives. Both cover CYP450 drug interaction pathways and EHR documentation infrastructure. Taking both tracks provides a cross-disciplinary governance perspective on cannabis documentation.
The Pharmacy track (Session P1) covers cannabis drug interactions and counseling from the pharmacist’s perspective, including the same CYP450 pathways. Nursing and pharmacy staff are the two clinical professions most frequently positioned to catch cannabis interactions before harm occurs.
Institutional licensing includes cohort enrollment across both the Core CE Program and this specialty track, facilitator support, and options to integrate with existing CE tracking systems. Pricing includes all 15 core sessions plus this specialty add-on.
