ASKP3 Ketamine in Psychiatric Practice: Mastering the Essentials

June 8 – 10, 2023
Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center

This is a three day course designed exclusively for psychiatrists and their psychiatric staff, including psychiatric nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Day one begins at 2:00 pm ET and focuses on ketamine essentials to include standards of practice, administration principles, and screening and management of safety prior to treatment.

Day two is designed to give participants hands-on experiences for IV administration, pumps, and monitors. Programming also includes practice set-up, ethical considerations, routes of administration, and a review of complex cases.

Our final day focuses on the latest research on mental health disorders, pain indicators and protocols, neuroscience and pharmacology, and discussions on the future for ketamine within the psychedelic landscape. 

Attendees will receive a Certificate of Completion (must attend all programming to qualify) recognizing their achievement and participation in this training program.  Registration is limited to 200 attendees.  Register early and bring your psychiatric staff!
