The Psychedelic Psychotherapy
Training Initiative
We are thrilled to announce The Board’s official endorsement of Psychedelic.Support to expand access to CME/CE-accredited trainings for clinical providers in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, educate the general community, and connect prospective patients with opportunities to participate in clinical trials of these cutting edge therapeutic tools. The Board is proud to announce the publication in collaboration with Dr. Allison Feduccia PhD of Psychedelic.support entitled: The need for establishing best practices and gold standards in psychedelic medicine
Psychedelic.support currently offers online CME/CE-accredited trainings in MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy that we highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more about these ground-breaking treatments.
We Work as a Team to Support You
From nutrition and plant medicine to neurosurgery and psychiatry, the Board has you covered. The Board of Medicine is a consortium of physicians, scientists, and subject matter experts working together to provide access to evidence-based, peer-reviewed and data-driven knowledge to ensure the safety of medicine for caregivers, patients, and industry partners.
The Tools in Our Toolbox
Plant medicines, such as valerian root, curcumin, ashwaganda, hemp-derived cannabinoids (ie. CBD & CBDA), and therapeutic mushrooms are extremely safe when used and dosed properly. There are other techniques, such as breath work, meditation, yoga, massage, acupuncture, and wearable technologies which have few to no side effects and are also powerful treatment options. These are particularly useful options for those who are not good candidates for medicine. It is critical for us to be aware of these tools in our toolbox, specifically their risks and benefits, so that we can understand when they may be good choices over other riskier treatment options.
Trainings & Certifications
Trainings and certifications for healthcare providers and industry partners are updated annually, based on the latest evidence collected from a comprehensive review of the peer-reviewed literature and combined with anecdotal evidence contributed by thousands of patients and healthcare providers.
