Braxia Institute Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy
Training Program
Request for Applications for Class of 2022
Application Deadline: July 11, 2021
Tentative Program Start Date: September 2021 (pandemic permitting)
A total of 14 qualified therapists will be selected for the training program. The training program will include didactic teaching, peer teaching, group discussion and simulations followed by a practicum component. The practicum component will include administering psilocybin-assisted therapy for participants with depression as part of a Health Canada approved clinical trial. We hope to recruit an interdisciplinary group of physicians, psychologists and psychotherapists. Therapists will work in dyads, pairing physician therapists with non-physician therapists as at least one physician is required for all psilocybin doses administered. You will receive group peer-supervision throughout the program. The goal of the course is to become fully competent to perform psilocybin-assisted therapy for future clinical trials and possibly clinical care, if psilocybin is approved by Health Canada in the future.
