As PAT rapidly move toward clinical implementation, our aim is to develop educational programming for interdisciplinary clinicians with a focus on serious illness care. We are collaborating with PAT education leaders nationwide to ensure our programming complies with still-evolving standards of certification to practice PAT.
Our team is also dedicated to leading conversation in the academic space and broader community about psychedelic-assisted therapies and their role in the care of patients with cancer. We speak nationally and internationally about our work and psychedelic-assisted therapies more generally, and enjoy creatively presenting our findings, experiences, and ideas.
Learn more about our PAT education program, and also a list of selected speaking engagements.
The Harvard Interdisciplinary Program in Psychedelics (HIPP)
In collaboration with the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies-Public Benefit Corporation, and our colleagues from the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for the Neuroscience of Psychedelics in Psychiatry, we are offering a new educational program for clinicians across disciplines to learn the foundations of psychedelic-assisted therapies across multiple indications and modalities. The curriculum includes a didactic series by Harvard faculty and researchers, experiential learning including a MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD education event, and further community-building activities. Below are the flyers for the inaugural HIPP 2023-2024.
