A live (synchronous) training using the Zoom Pro platform

Description

Current medications used to treat diagnoses such as Major Depression Disorder (MDD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are moderately effective at best. As a result, researchers have been focusing on psychedelic substances such as ketamine, psilocybin, and
others to treat these diagnoses. This online webinar will cover how to classify these psychedelic substances as well as how they work in the brain, benefits, and side-effects. Psilocybin will be highlighted in particular. Also included is a brief overview of microdosing. Finally, a summary of actual clinical experiences will be presented.

Training Objectives:

by the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

a. Differentiate “traditional” versus “non-traditional” psychedelic substances based on their effects in the brain
b. List common side-effects of several psychedelics
