Barbara has been an RN for 48 years, acquiring an ADN, BSN, and MSN over the years. Barbara teaches Community Health, Nursing Leadership and Health Assessment at the University level in addition to her duties as the Clinical Director of Salvera Medical Cannabis Dispensary in Bowie Maryland. In this role she conducts clinical conversations and assessments with each new patient that comes to the dispensary. The facility is a very medical model and each patient is given the opportunity to work with Barbara and her staff to determine the correct medicine for their symptoms or diseases. Currently Barbara is pursuing her Doctorate in Health Administration and Leadership with a focus on cannabis research and the dispensary experience. Education remains a top priority, teaching medical professionals, patients and caregivers what is available, what works, how to access, and how to use cannabis and cannabinoid products. Under Barbara’s leadership there is ongoing research with our cannabis patients looking at their experiences and how cannabis works to alleviate symptoms. There is a goal to contribute to the body of knowledge that is building on what we know about using cannabis as an alternative/adjunct to traditional treatments and medications. For instance, the dispensary has many patients that are treating their chronic pain with opioids and are desperate to discontinue them. The introduction of cannabis into their regimen has been highly successful for these patients. The possibilities are endless and yet the education is lacking. This is Barbara’s mission!
