[Hiring] Cannabis Clinical Nurse Consultant @CLFC Healthcare and Communications

Role Description

CLF Consultants is building a clinical team to staff a telephonic care line supporting the Maryland Cannabis Administration. As a Cannabis Clinical Nurse Consultant, you will provide professional information to Maryland medical cannabis patients, caregivers, and providers, including guidance on medical cannabis use:

• Product and strain selection for qualifying conditions
• Contraindications
• Side effects and risks
• Basic screening and referral for problem use

This is a remote, part-time, information-only clinical role delivered by phone. There is no bedside care, medication administration, night shifts, or physical patient care, and no diagnosis, prescriptions, or brand recommendations.

Schedule: approximately 12 to 15 hours per week; primary coverage Wednesday through Friday 3:00 to 6:00 PM and Saturday 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET. Schedule may adjust as the pilot evolves.

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license in good standing with the Maryland Board of Nursing.
• Current HIPAA training and a commitment to caller confidentiality.
• Strong telephone communication skills and comfort working remotely with call-center software and a reliable internet connection.
• No conflict of interest: not employed by or holding an interest in a cannabis licensee or registrant, and not an active certifying provider.

Requirements

• Answer inbound calls during scheduled coverage hours, providing professional, non-promotional medical cannabis information.
• Triage concurrent calls and return callbacks within 15 minutes during hours of operation.
• Provide basic screening and referral for cannabis use disorder and problem use, and route out-of-scope calls appropriately.
• Record required call data in a de-identified format and maintain strict caller confidentiality and HIPAA compliance.
• Work collaboratively with clinical leadership and the program's pharmacy and medical advisors on complex questions.
• Follow the established call-management standard operating procedures and participate in onboarding, training, and program meetings.

Training Support

Prior medical-cannabis training is welcomed but not required to apply. CLFC will support completion of an approved medical-cannabis education program for the right candidate prior to start.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior telehealth, nurse triage, helpline, or call-center experience.
• Patient-education or behavioral-health screening background, with medical-cannabis education a plus.

Continuity

This is a Key Personnel role. CLFC maintains per-diem backup coverage and will provide a qualified replacement within 15 days in the event of a sudden vacancy.
