Full Course Description
Who Should Attend
Professionals In Community-Based Practice
Our "Mini-Fellowship" Intensive Training Course for Clinicians is particularly well-suited for clinicians (MD, DO, NP) in the fields of Psychiatry, Primary Care, Integrative/Functional Medicine, and Emergency Medicine. It was specifically designed for clinicians interested in ketamine therapy who are new to this unique modality and infusion therapy in general.
This course presents an excellent opportunity for professionals in community-based practice looking to expand their current medical services. Here's why:
Patient-Centric Approach: The course's focus on Patient-Specific Therapy and Responsive Drug-Delivery Control aligns perfectly with the personalized care typically offered in community-based practices. The methods taught will enable practitioners to customize treatments to each patient's unique needs, enhancing both effectiveness and patient satisfaction.
Advanced Techniques: The course takes you beyond the traditional ketamine infusion protocol to more advanced, evidence-based pharmacokinetic modeling methods. Integrating these cutting-edge techniques into your practice can help you stand out in your community, offering a unique service that not all practitioners can provide.
Improved Patient Outcomes: By potentially enhancing therapeutic effectiveness and minimizing adverse effects, these methods can lead to better patient outcomes. This, in turn, can further build trust within the community, resulting in higher patient retention and increased word-of-mouth referrals.
Professional Development: As a community practitioner, ongoing learning and development are essential to staying at the forefront of healthcare advancements. This course provides an opportunity to broaden your knowledge and skill set, thereby enhancing your professional growth.
Who May Not Benefit From This Training
For Those In Academic Practice and Commercial Venture
This course, however, might not be as suitable for those in academic practice or practices associated with larger commercial ventures due to the following reasons:
Patient Volume: Larger practices often see a higher volume of patients, which may limit the feasibility of implementing a highly individualized approach, such as the one taught in this course.
Protocol Standardization: In academic settings or large commercial ventures, there's often an established set of protocols that might not be as flexible for implementing new methods. The standardization necessary in these environments might make it challenging to integrate the more tailored approach taught in this course.
Resource Allocation: Implementing the advanced techniques taught in this course might require a significant investment of time and resources. Larger practices, with their more complex operational structures, might find it more challenging to allocate these resources compared to a more agile community-based practice.
In conclusion, this course offers an exciting opportunity for community-based practitioners to enhance their services and improve patient outcomes. However, the same benefits might not be as easily realized in larger or academic practice settings.
Course Tuition and Application:
Course Tuition: $8950.00 USD
Why This Training Commands Premium Pricing
Our premium pricing reflects the cost of delivering training that is truly unique and cannot be found anywhere else. While other programs offer basic online theory with unlimited enrollment, we limit each cohort to just 4 participants, ensuring personalized mentorship from an internationally recognized ketamine expert—not local practitioners teaching side courses.
You’re investing in the only program that combines personal ketamine experience, hands-on clinical training, and advanced precision medicine techniques in one comprehensive package. More importantly, our advanced patient selection and safety protocols significantly reduce your risk of adverse events, which can result in tens of thousands of dollars in legal exposure. You’re not just paying for training—you’re investing in becoming one of the most skilled ketamine providers in the country.
The registration fee for the 3-Day “Mini-Fellowship” Intensive Training Course for Clinicians is $ 8,950.00. You will not be billed for the initial deposit of $ 2,500.00 until formal acceptance has been granted.
Upon official acceptance, a $2,500.00 deposit will be charged to your credit card to secure your spot in the program. The remaining balance of $6,450.00 will be due thirty days before your start date. Should you need to cancel within 30 days or less of the course start date, you will receive a full refund of any fees paid, less your initial deposit of $2,500.00.

After You Apply:
Once we have received and reviewed all the documentation, we will arrange a convenient time to discuss your application, address any preliminary questions you may have, and provide you with additional details about the program.
Application to the course does not guarantee acceptance. All applications for training are reviewed, and the class roster is filled on a rolling basis. Each of the offered training courses typically fills early, and submitting your application as soon as possible is beneficial.
Once Accepted:
Before beginning the course, it is helpful to have as much background in ketamine therapy as possible. Many physicians have a naïve view that a ketamine infusion is a simple procedure that support staff can perform and monitor while the clinician is attending to other concerns. That belief has led to the proliferation of "ketamine clinics" that often provide substandard care and have inconsistent or poor outcomes.
To help, we recommend that clinicians who attend the course complete a required reading list and review reference articles we provide. This material will provide you with essential background knowledge, which will be highly beneficial in deriving value from our didactic and clinical sessions and serve as a handy reference in your future practice.
Please Note:
Accommodations are not included; however, a discounted rate is available for our colleagues with several of our partner hotels, including the Hampton Inn, Magnolia Inn, Ritz-Carlton, and Hilton Art of Ovation hotels.
CME Credits:
There are currently no Type I Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits available for the course; however, 24 Type II credits are available. I have considered obtaining Type I Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits before, but the process is complex, lengthy, and costly. Our training program includes small-group sessions that combine lectures with hands-on supervised training. Due to our limited capacity to train clinicians each year, it is not economically feasible for us to pursue CME accreditation at this time.
