Benjamin Malcolm, PharmD, MPH

I received my bachelor’s degree (BS) in pharmacology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, prior to continuing my education with a Doctorate of Pharmacy (PharmD) and Masters in Public Health (MPH) and at Touro University California. I completed two years of post-graduate residency training; the first in General Pharmacy Practice at Scripps Mercy Hospital and one in Psychiatric Pharmacy at University of California at San Diego Health. After residency training I began my career as an Academician at Western University of Health Sciences (WUHS), College of Pharmacy and obtained Board Certification in Psychiatric Pharmacy (BCPP). I envision a society in which access to psychedelic drugs in a variety of safe and supported settings is available for purposes of psychospiritual well-being, personal development, ceremonial sacraments, and treatment of mental illness. To serve this vision I began a psychopharmacology consulting practice and educational website - Spiritpharmacist.com - to help persons understand the interaction potential and optimal clinical approaches to psychedelic therapies when persons are taking traditional psychiatric medications.
