Training
Prerequisites
Preparation for the Training
As a prerequisite to the training, all participants must complete a reading list to familiarize themselves with the basics of pharmacology, ethics, working with alternative medicines, and contemporary scientific studies that elucidate the foundations supporting KAP. Understanding these foundational principles is essential to the training and puts participants on a shared level.

About Ketamine: The Full Story – A Public Discourse by Phil Woflson MD, Mark Braunstein DO, Ben McCauley
The Ketamine Research Foundation and its practitioner authors share our article for awakening a broad and critical understanding of the spectrum of benefits and hazards of ketamine’s use. As practitioners we are exposed to and probe the personal bases for ketamine’s extraordinary positive value to allay human suffering and for its dependence. We offer this work to increase knowledge about ketamine and ketamine assisted psychotherapy and to further compassionate awareness to individual susceptibilities and experiences. Our article is long and intricate in order to provide a full view.
And in Memory of Ken Jordan, who honored us with his deeply thoughtful editing, this as his last contribution.
