At the Stanford School of Medicine, researchers from the Rodriguez Lab and the Heifets Lab have united under the banner of the Stanford Psychedelic Science Group. Their primary clinical focus is to investigate compounds including ketamine, psilocybin, and MDMA as potential treatments for debilitating disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), treatment-resistant depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Stanford’s psychedelic education sits squarely in the academic, research-led end of the field rather than the commercial training circuit. It is best for clinicians, trainees, students, and researchers who want a serious grounding in psychedelic medicine, with a clear emphasis on evidence, ethics, and the Stanford research ecosystem. The lineage is strong: the programme is organised through the Stanford Psychedelic Science Group and features faculty and clinicians working in psychiatry, anaesthesiology, and related research areas.
Best suited to clinicians, trainees, students, and researchers who want an academically rigorous introduction to psychedelic medicine and the surrounding science. It is less a practitioner certification and more a university-based learning environment for people already in, or heading towards, clinical or research settings.
No formal prerequisite is published for the introductory course pages. The course is taught in a university setting and is framed around academic study and sanctioned research rather than use or facilitation of illicit substances.
Stanford publishes the course through its School of Medicine and Stanford CME infrastructure, but the SPSG education page does not advertise a standalone psychedelic-training certification. Stanford CME offers continuing medical education activities generally, yet no psychedelic-specific CME credit is published on the SPSG education page.
Stanford describes the education offering as free high quality education. The SPSG education page does not publish a single programme price for PSYC 215B or related talks, and no tuition, materials fee, or bundle price is listed there.
Learners walk away with an academic introduction to psychedelic medicine, including current research, clinical applications, history, and ethics. The main outcome is knowledge and professional context rather than a separate credential.
