Speaking at Psychedelic Healthcare Forum

The VA's phased rollout plan for psychedelic therapy

Senior Advisor to the Veterans Health Administration. At the forum, said the VA has chosen ten sites to roll out psychedelic therapy first — selected for existing clinical trial experience, though he wouldn't name them — after presenting a phased implementation plan to VA Secretary Doug Collins three weeks earlier. On record: "I think, to manage expectations, it'll be a challenge in the first year to treat four digits' worth of patients. Demand will exceed our ability to supply these therapies."
