Course Description

Dr. Zelfand takes a deep dive into the latest research on microdosing to summarize what we know - and what we don’t - about the effects of taking sub-perceptual doses of LSD and psilocybin. Featuring real cases from Dr. Zelfand’s practice, this class explains various dosage protocols, reviews the literature available, and summarizes general trends. The proposed mechanisms of action for microdosing are explained, along with safety considerations and drug-drug interactions.

Testimonials
This was very helpful and gave me a great jumping-off point for diving into the research on my own and sharing information with patients and colleagues.
Caitlin B., MSN, FNP
Training was great. Super nice to take CEUs in something that is interesting and holds so much hope for clients. AND this will be much more relevant to my practice when LSD and psilocybin are legal!

Dr. Z is my favorite of all the psychedelic educators I've studied with so far. I love her approach to the subject matter and the way she expresses her own curiosity and passion for the topics.

I'm the mother of an adult child with PTSD and MDD. I took this course to supplement my knowledge of microdosing psilocybin and found the workshop very informative. The instructor presented the material in an easy-to-understand, organized way.
