U-PEP is a philanthropically supported initiative that equips university faculty across disciplines with the knowledge, resources, and community to integrate evidence-based psychedelic content into their curricula — laying the groundwork for the next generation of practitioners, researchers, and educators. 

U-PEP’s model creates a multiplier effect: we educate faculty, who in turn educate their students, who go on to educate patients, policymakers, and communities. Our interprofessional approach is central to U-PEP’s vision of cultivating a health workforce that is prepared to discuss psychedelic-assisted care with patients, guide referrals, and, for some providers, deliver treatment.
