Education & Training

Our aim is to train the next generation of leaders in psychedelic medicine in Canada and beyond.

The UHN PPRG offers a variety of educational offerings including a certificate program with the Michener Institute of Education, fellowships, electives for medical students and residents, professional development workshops, grand rounds and public education.

Michener Foundations of Psychedelic Psychotherapy Program

Our flagship educational offering is an academically rigorous, culturally sensitive and patient-centred certificate program for health care providers in the delivery of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

Learning will include:

• A didactic component including Canadian-specific content and the Indigenous roots of this practice
• Experiential learning includes breath work, role-plays, simulations and guided exercises
• Apprenticeships where trainees treat their first cases with an experienced clinician as their co-therapist, and later treat cases under supervision

Graduates will join a growing community of practice for ongoing group supervision, workshops and training to maintain and deepen their expertise. The program launched in September 2022. Details of the program are available on the Michener website.
