Ketamine Therapy Online Course Information
Our Ketamine Therapy Training Programs
We offer two versions of our Ketamine Therapy training program. Both will provide you with everything you need to provide subanesthetic ketamine therapy in your clinic safely. One is business & clinical focused, while the other is clinical only. The details of each program are explained below.
Ketamine Business Accelerator Program
Our Ketamine Business Accelerator is our 'Clinic-in-a-Box' training program. You'll get lifetime access to the course content. It is specifically designed to help participants launch a new ketamine clinic from the ground up. We understand the limited business and marketing training that most healthcare professionals have. We aim to close that knowledge gap. The online course portion of the program is comprised primarily of video lessons.
We don't focus too much on theory or fluff and prefer to get straight to the most impactful and relevant topics you need to learn and understand in order to provide ketamine as a service and thrive as a ketamine practice owner.
In addition, the business program includes business-related forms and templates; we leave no stone unturned...
You will get a step-by-step ketamine clinic startup checklist, a 500+ page policy & procedure manual, lists of the top EMRs for ketamine practices, access to discounts provided by Medline (save 10-14%), a list of experienced healthcare attorneys, medical supply checklists, office supply checklists, a QuickBooks online crash-course, a condensed training on proper website building, lessons on the best marketing practices, templates for hiring contractors, examples of physician collaboration and supervision agreements and much more...
The clinic launch resource list is too long to list here, but hopefully, you get the idea. We've done all the work, so you don't have to. We want you to hit the ground running instead of wasting precious time.
Our Ketamine Business Accelerator Program includes everything from our Ketamine Clinical Training Program.
Ketamine Clinical Training Program
We take the same approach with our Ketamine Clinical Training Program in that we give you everything you need to get started clinically. We focused our clinical content on topics that are critical to the safe administration of ketamine therapy. Patient safety is at the forefront of how we educate, and you can expect video lessons to help you learn indications, contraindications, clinical pearls, and researched-backed ketamine protocols.
In the Clinical Training Program, we provide the protocols, patient intake & follow-up forms, clinical consents, pharmaceutical checklists, a list of various controlled substance distributors to order from, order sets, emergency protocols, and many more resources that make implementing everything into practice a breeze. Our Ketamine Clinical Training Program also includes lifetime access to the course content. ​​​
LIVE Coaching Calls & Questions for Instructors
Included in both programs. Our priority is helping clinicians finish our program with the knowledge needed to provide low-dose ketamine therapy services safely. We also strive to help our students build up the confidence they need to become thriving ketamine practitioners.
​
We do this through LIVE Zoom calls with our instructors. Unlike other training programs that don't provide access to instructors, we have bent over backward so you can easily get all your questions answered. You'll have access to our program for your entire first year.
​
We love to have our Zoom room filled with smiling faces on each live call, so with that in mind, we always send email reminders; we even set up text reminders, too (opt-in required so as not to be a pest).
​
In addition, you have that ability to leave a question for our instructors 24/7 and you can expect a video answer in your email inbox within just a few business days.
