Mastering the Essentials: A Hands-On Introduction to Ketamine Administration
September 25 – 27, 2026 | Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel
This three-day course is designed exclusively for practitioners seeking to integrate ketamine administration safely and effectively into their clinical practices.
Day one focuses on foundational ketamine-assisted psychotherapy principles, including practice models, preparation and setting, breath work and holding space, safety considerations, and a guided multisensory immersion experience.
Day two builds on these essentials with applied clinical content, covering routes of administration, combining intranasal esketamine with IV ketamine, complex patient selection (including dual diagnosis, addictions, PTSD), navigation and integration, as well as coding, billing, payment, audit, enforcement, and properly insuring your ketamine practice.
Day three emphasizes advanced clinical decision-making and optimization of care, including choosing between treatments, neuroscience and pharmacology, a survey of ketamine research for mental health disorders, legal implications, hands-on optimization of IV infusion administration, and future directions for ketamine within the broader psychedelic landscape.
Attendees will receive a certificate of completion (must attend all programming to qualify), recognizing their achievement and participation in this training program. Registration is limited to 80 attendees. Register early and bring your medical staff!
Sponsored by the American Society of Ketamine Physicians, Psychotherapists and Practitioners (ASKP3), this is the only in-person training program that includes didactic sessions and hands-on learning.
