The Inaugural Sana Symposium, focusing on psychedelics education, will be held virtually from Friday, September 17 to Sunday, September 19, 2021. We are honored to have been asked to serve as co-chairs for the first year of this symposium and are pleased to share some of the upcoming highlights taking place.

Our current agenda encompasses 23 sessions that will span the topics of introducing psychedelics into a patient’s treatment plan, best practices, legal considerations, and so much more. These virtual sessions will consist of a presentation, followed by a live question and answer period with the presenter.
