Course Description

Johns Hopkins University, Yale University, and New York University have announced they are collaborating to create a psychedelics curriculum for psychiatrists. A $1 million grant will fund researchers at the three schools over the next two years to develop a curriculum for psychiatrists and create educational materials for other medical professionals.

The overall aim of the program is to adequately train medical professionals in psychedelic therapy in order to increase patient access to these therapies. Pending approval from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, psychiatrists will be able to specialize in psychedelic psychiatry, just as they would child psychiatry or forensic psychiatry. Funding has come in the form of philanthropic donations from The Heffter Research Institute, Tim Ferriss, Bill Linton, Michael and Lisa Cotton, and the Evolve Foundation.

About Instructor

Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first arrived in Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen. In 1979, he became the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon. In 1994, he was initiated into the Misokko tradition. As a guide for numerous expeditions and missions, including those of National Geographic, the BBC, and others, Tatayo is considered to have “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon.
