This presentation will be an interactive review and discussion of the goals, guidelines and outcomes of the first academically accredited certificate training on psychedelic-assisted therapy and research anywhere in the world. This university program is housed at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, CA. in the Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research (www.ciis.edu/psychedeliccenter).The program was founded by Dr. Janis Phelps in consultation with major researchers from MAPS, Heffter Research Institute, Council for Spiritual Practices, and Compass Pathways. This 180-hour post-graduate professional program reflects current models of psychedelic therapy research design and advanced therapist competencies. It is a university-approved training for licensed Clinical Psychologists, MDs, RN/NPs, MFTs, MSWs, ordained clergy and commissioned chaplains. The six modules of the training have well-founded research and academic bases: neuropharmacology and research foundations, global transformational traditions, therapist competencies, experiential and role-playing practices, en vivo instruction, and individual mentoring. The 2016 program learning objectives and methods of training from the highly successful first year of training will be presented. An engaging discussion will follow the presentation on the values of such training for psychotherapists, clergy and medical professionals.
