21:04 SLU’s New Graduate Program
Our favorite quote from Stacy Godlewski’s interview about SLU’s Cannabis Science and Operations:
Jeff: Please, tell me about the new graduate program.
Stacy: We launched that this January. You do have to have a Bachelor’s Degree, in any area of education, to come to that program. It’s geared more towards your doctors, your nurses, your social workers, law enforcement. People who deal with folks who self-medicate with this to understand the medical benefits of it. We need the healthcare industry to know more about this. We have an aging population. And they’re going to be going into their doctors’ and saying, “Hey, I have arthritis, but you know what helps me is when I take medical cannabis. The pill you gave me…I don’t know if it’s helping so much.” And there’s a disconnect. Because the doctors can’t speak to why it’s helping. So that is a 12 credit hour program. But again, undergraduate degree; it doesn’t have to be in science or chemistry, just an undergraduate degree. We’re teaming up with the nursing school; there are a lot of nurse practitioners who want to know about it as well.”
