A critical analysis of four influential publications reveals a troubling disconnect in medical education: while thousands of researchers document the Endocannabinoid System’s crucial role in homeostatic regulation, mainstream medical education continues to operate in isolation from this knowledge. This systematic exclusion creates dangerous knowledge gaps in healthcare delivery.
