Building a Psychedelic Medicine Clinic (Workshop 1)

Join PRATI for a workshop on Building a Psychedelic Medicine Clinic: Clinical Foundations, Systems, and Procedures (Workshop 1)

PRATI’s Building a Psychedelic Medicine Clinic Workshop (Workshop 1) focuses on delivering practical skills to build and run a psychedelic medicine clinic. It was originally recorded on November 14th – 15th, 2020. The workshop is now available through online videos and resource documents. Learn from the experts how to build and run your own psychedelic medicine clinic.

The numbers of those struggling with mental illness continues to escalate and our current model of psychological care has many failings. Psychedelic medicine represents a new paradigm in mental health care. The lay and professional interest in this new model of care has exploded in the last few years. A huge number of practitioners are eager to deliver services with MDMA, psilocybin and ketamine in a true psychedelic framework. Let us help you learn how to navigate this new space and gain the skills you need to open your own business.

Using psychedelics as a treatment option will require that providers of care be able to set-up and run a clinic designed specifically for psychedelic medicine. Once rescheduled, MDMA and psilocybin will require specifics in clinical format, setting, and professional training. In spite of a true passion for this work many practitioners do not feel they are ready or able to set up or manage such a clinic, which is why PRATI has designed a course specifically to teach practitioners what they need to know in order to prepare mental health providers to work in psychedelic medicine. We have gathered a diverse and experienced faculty that will prepare you to successfully open a psychedelic medicine clinic.
