Our Educational Initiatives
25-hour continuing education online certification program
In conjunction with faculty, fellows, and other subject matter experts, the CPDRE is developing a continuing education program in Psychedelic Science. Modules will be accessible online and are completed at your own pace. CE credits will be approved for social workers and a certificate of completion (non-college credit) will be awarded after completing all modules. Those with MDs or in disciplines outside of social work may also be able to receive approved CE/CME after approved by the relevant organizations. Topics will include the history of psychedelics, clinical applications, diversity, equity, and inclusion, bioethics, and other important topics designed to give the student a strong foundation of knowledge related to this emerging field of study. It will be ideal for those who are interested in psychedelics and those who want to pursue advanced clinical training with psychedelic medicine in the future. The program will be available beginning Summer 2023.
3-day Intensive Clinical Training in Psilocybin-assisted therapy
Our team or experts in psychedelic medicine has put together an 16 hour continuing education workshop about the background and skills necessary to help prepare and support people who have psychedelic experiences in clinical settings. This workshop is designed to provide a basic foundation in the clinical approach with psilocybin therapy and to introduce the basic skills involved in preparation, dosing, and integration. Trainees can receive up to 16 hours of CEs/CMEs for completing this training. The training can be delivered in your local community/university setting for up to 25-30 licensed or license-eligible clinicians. Minimum number of trainees is 25. Please contact us for more details including pricing and availability.
Psychedemia 2024
The CPDRE hosted the second Psychedmia conference at the Ohio State University in 2022. Attended by 300+ faculty, students, working professionals, and community members, this conference was crafted to provide immersive interdisciplinary education and discussion about psychedelics. Academics from a variety of disciplines were represented, including history, anthropology, psychology, medicine, social work, law, and others. This important discourse is critical to advancing the academic, cultural, and medical framework for psychedelics. More details about the Psychedemia 2024, including ways to participate and info for presenter submissions, are available here.
