We train the clinicians who do this work.
The Ketamine Research Institute runs a three-day intensive for licensed clinicians, followed by twelve months of mentorship. It is taught here, in the room where the infusions happen.
Why this is on a patient’s website
A method is only as good as the people using it.
Patients sometimes ask why we teach other clinicians. We would rather teach our method openly than keep it. What we ask of a trainee is what we do here every day: the full record read before anyone is accepted, the dose worked out from a target concentration in the blood rather than from body weight, and a physician who stays in the room for the whole infusion.
The mark names the Institute that provided the training. That is the whole of what it claims.
What the training covers
Taught, and then observed.
- Dosing to a measured target concentration rather than to the scale.
- Monitoring and sedation standards taken from anesthesia practice.
- Choosing patients, and declining the ones this does not suit.
The credential, and its limits
A certificate of training.
Clinicians who pass the assessment may say they were trained by this Institute, and may be listed in our directory. It is a certificate of training. It is not a board certification, and no national body accredits ketamine training programs.
What we teach, and what we do not. Clinicians are trained in the KRI precision method — dosing to a measured target concentration, the monitoring standard that goes with it, and the work-up that comes before. They are not trained in the RESTORE infusion program, which is proprietary to the Ketamine Research Institute and is what we use here.
