Course Objectives

After viewing this program, the participant will be able to describe recent advances in pre-clinical and clinical trials of psychedelic and other psychoactive substances, particularly in the areas of depression, substance use disorders, and PTSD.  The participant will also be able to relate multiple models for how psychedelic and dissociative compounds are being incorporated into active practices, and how cultural differences can be addressed with regard to treatment of underserved and marginalized populations in mental health. Finally, participants will be able to describe the roles that different healthcare providers are likely to have when considering psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy integrations of care, and how this might be influenced by the evolving credentialing landscape in this space.
