ASKP3 Expert Faculty
In 2023, ASKP3 launched the Expert Faculty, bringing together top thought leaders and industry experts to shape the future of ketamine and emerging treatments.
Through special invitation of over 90 invited practitioners, 45 experts — psychiatrists, pharmacologists, anesthesiologists, psychotherapists, CRNAs, internists, ER and pain specialists, licensed counselors and social workers, researchers and PhDs — formed a powerhouse advisory group extending ASKP3’s reach.
United by three strategic pillars — Community, Education, and Standards — the Faculty laid the groundwork for industry-wide collaboration. Their 2024 efforts turned vision into action, forging partnerships, advancing education, and setting the stage for clinical standards in ketamine therapy.
What did the Expert Faculty accomplish in 2024?
The 2024 goals presented by the Expert Faculty were ambitious
- Community: Established connections with nonprofits, initiated local and regional chapters, and championed transparency.
- Education: Conduct a gap analysis to map out critical learning opportunities and shape the 2025 education agenda.
- Standards: Kicked off literature reviews to build upon consensus papers and guidelines for ketamine administration, setting the foundation for future best practices.
ASKP3 accomplished a lot in 2024 with the help of our Expert Faculty. Below are some highlights regarding activities across our pillars.
What’s Ahead in 2025?
At the 2025 ASKP3 Annual Conference in Austin, the Expert Faculty doubled down on their mission. This year, they’re pushing forward with:
- Stronger Advocacy: Expanding social media presence, legislative engagement, and conference outreach.
- Clinical Guidance: Publishing a consensus paper on IV ketamine for depression and compiling patient safety data to refine treatment protocols.
- Education Expansion: Developing online courses for both prescribing and non-prescribing professionals.
With momentum on their side, ASKP3’s Expert Faculty is shaping the next era of ketamine therapy. Stay tuned for more impact in 2025!
