MCST 619 SCIENCE WRITING IN MEDICAL CANNABIS
Research shows that most health information is not presented in a way that most people can understand and use. This course is designed to teach students how to choose accessible and inclusive language to write an effective lay summary of a medical cannabis-focused scientific review article for the non-career scientist audience. Students will identify the components of a review article and learn how to transform complex scientific information into dissectible pieces for noncareer scientist audiences. This course was created with permission and materials from Dr. Isabell May’s
MHS 603 Science Communication Principles course. This course is required for Medical Cannabis Science, Therapeutics, and Policy Certificate students who are transitioning to the Master’s program, and may be taken as an elective by students already enrolled in the Master’s program.
