Michener
The Michener Institute, a clinical health sciences education affiliate of the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, offers a Foundations of Psychedelic Psychotherapy course for healthcare professionals seeking training in ketamine-assisted and psychedelic therapy modalities. As part of one of Canada's leading academic health science institutions, the program bridges clinical rigour with the emerging evidence base for psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Blossom’s read
Michener sits in the more academically conservative end of the psychedelic-training field, anchored within UHN and its Psychedelic Psychotherapy Research Group rather than a standalone commercial school. The offer appears best suited to licensed or practising health professionals who want a clinically framed introduction to psychedelic psychotherapy, especially if they value hospital-lineage, research adjacency and careful ethics. It is less of a slick certification mill and more of a serious, experiential foundation course, though it is not a regulated credential in Canada and should not be mistaken for formal licensure.
Who Michener is for
Best for healthcare professionals, particularly clinicians already working in mental health, medicine, palliative care, addictions or related fields who want an academically grounded introduction to psychedelic psychotherapy. It seems especially relevant to those preparing for ketamine-assisted or future psychedelic-assisted work within regulated healthcare settings.
Prerequisites
Sources indicate applicants must meet admission requirements, and the programme strongly recommends having a therapist/support in place during training. The application materials imply a relevant professional or educational background and a willingness to engage in experiential work, breathwork screening, and confidentiality agreements, but the exact formal prerequisite list is not clearly visible in the sources captured.
Accreditation & recognition
Michener describes the course as a certificate programme for healthcare providers, and the application materials state that standards and regulations for psychedelic psychotherapy do not currently exist in Canada. I did not find evidence in the captured sources of formal professional accreditation, CME/CE credit, or licensure recognition for this specific course.
Cost
The captured sources do not show a tuition figure for Foundations of Psychedelic Psychotherapy. Michener does state that many of its continuing education certificate programmes are not eligible for OSAP, but I could not confirm whether that applies here from the sources accessed.
What you walk away with
Learners are positioned to gain a broad introduction to psychedelic psychotherapy, with experiential exposure, recorded lectures, live virtual teaching, a five-day in-person retreat, and breathwork-based learning. The programme appears to aim at building foundational competencies for ethical, clinically informed psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy rather than conferring a regulated practice credential.
