Pathways to Psychedelic Practice: Understanding Clinical Trials
Explore diverse pathways to psychedelic practice through engaging panel discussions, focusing on clinical trials and their significance in the field.
This webinar highlights perspectives of researchers, clinicians and patients across Canada on clinical trials as a pathway to access psychedelic therapy. Since the introduction of psilocybin and MDMA to the Special Access Program in 2022, there have been many questions of whether this access program is appropriate for psychedelic therapy. Are clinical trials a better option? What challenges, barriers, opportunities and benefits arise from this pathway? This webinar also explores funding options and the development of a MAPS Canada working group for clinical research development.
