Please join us for MAPS Canada’s live webinar survey of the current state of psychedelic research in this country, Exploring Psychedelic Research in Canada, featuring Sabrina Ramkellawan, Dr. Anne Wagner, Ph.D, and Dr. Hayden Rubensohn, MD.
2021 has proven to be a tremendous year for scientific and clinical research in psychedelics in Canada, with over twelve clinical trials currently at different stages of study, with different primary objectives, different investigational products, and at different research institutions across the country.
Our panel of experts will examine the current state of research, share a bit about their own work, and discuss both the present and the possible future for psychedelic studies in Canada.
