IPE Curriculum in the Foundations of Psychedelic Science and Therapeutics will receive 20,000 for two years. Contributing faculty and staff members are Megan Meyer, MSW, PhD, Andrew Coop, PhD, Luana Colloca, MD, PhD, MS, John G. Cagle, MSW, PhD, Shannon Tucker, Lynn, PhD, MS, CPHIMS, and Seante Hatcher, MSW. A growing body of research is demonstrating the potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and pain. UMB’s first response to this emerging science on PAT has been the 2024-25 Continuing Interprofessional Education (CIPE - see Owen & Schmitt, 2013) workshop series titled, Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Science and Practice of Psychedelic Therapies, (see the website created for this: https://www.ssw.umaryland.edu/psychedelic-series/), which was supported by the IPE Center though it’s seed grant program and has been a terrific success. Six of eight sessions have been offered thus far and have had very strong enrollment (over 60 participants in each) and positive evaluations, and attendees have expressed interest in further training. We have three primary aims over the next two years to continue and expand our IPE workforce training efforts in this emerging area of practice. We aim to develop and deliver a 3-credit IPE elective course available to students from the schools of social work (SSW), pharmacy (SOPH) and nursing (SON) (additional approval from other schools on campus will also be sought). In future years, this course could form the foundation of a possible micro-credential for both UMB and non-UMB members. To maximize student access, the 3-credit course will be asynchronous and taught collaboratively by faculty across the three schools.
