This Fall, the field of psychedelic research will take a giant step forward at the University of Health Sciences Antigua (UHSA) in Piccadilly, Antigua. For years, as the opioid crisis has raged in America, we have been teaching our students how to ease suffering and mental health issues with the use of psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, a substance more popularly known as the hallucinogenic component within “magic mushrooms.”
Our new program will involve those in the first two years of medical school and incorporate all of the basic sciences. This will give a new generation of medical professionals experience and first-hand knowledge of psychedelic therapy, as they work alongside a world-class life sciences company that is focused on natural products. The program will take place at our Dow's Hill campus.
