Course Description
The Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Graduate Certificate Program is designed for professional therapists and clinicians who wish to train in and support psychedelic-assisted therapies. The program focuses on the opportunities and challenges of this advanced practice area. Participants will be part of a small, interdisciplinary learning community that aims to enhance their therapeutic capacity and provide safe and inclusive care.
The program starts in September and comprises four courses, with the first three being online theory courses. The final course, PAT 504, is a hybrid course that includes both online learning and in-person supervised practice in a program that delivers psychedelic-assisted therapies. The full program can be completed remotely if an approved practicum site is available near the trainee's location.
Admission requirements include an undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in health, human services, or related fields, a resume with a cover letter and professional references, at least two years of related experience in the field, and an interview. For applicants whose previous degree was obtained in a country where English is not the primary/official language, they must meet one of VIU's English Language requirements for Academic Programs.

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.
