ASKP3 Expert Faculty
In 2023, ASKP3 launched the Expert Faculty, bringing together top thought leaders and industry experts to shape the future of ketamine and emerging treatments.
Through special invitation of over 90 invited practitioners, 45 experts — psychiatrists, pharmacologists, anesthesiologists, psychotherapists, CRNAs, internists, ER and pain specialists, licensed counselors and social workers, researchers and PhDs — formed a powerhouse advisory group extending ASKP3’s reach.
United by three strategic pillars — Community, Education, and Standards — the Faculty laid the groundwork for industry-wide collaboration. Their 2024 efforts turned vision into action, forging partnerships, advancing education, and setting the stage for clinical standards in ketamine therapy.
