Psychedelics in Psychiatry

This 1.5-hour continuing professional development course explores the potential use of psychedelics to improve persistent and intractable mental health symptoms and its implications for nursing practice. The course covers the history of psychedelics, current and past research, expected changes in the next couple of years, and how nurses may be able to become part of this exciting area of nursing and is approved by the Connecticut Nurses’ Association and American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.

This course introduces psychedelics as a viable treatment in psychiatry and explores the history that has been lost until now. The resurgence of research makes psychedelics one of the tools that (future) psychiatrists and nurses may utilize.

This mini-course is for those wanting to learn more about the history of psychedelics, especially from a nurse(ing) perspective. The course is self-paced and consists of 1.5 hours of material.
