INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS

The CAN-PACT International Advisory Board brings together global leaders in psychedelic-assisted cancer therapy, oncology, palliative care, mental health, and health policy to provide strategic guidance and expert insight. Members offer light-touch support through one annual virtual meeting, occasional feedback on key documents, and sharing perspectives on emerging clinical, research, educational, and policy directions in the field.

​

In return, Advisory Board members contribute to shaping a national Canadian research and training agenda for psychedelic-assisted therapy in cancer care, connect with a diverse international network of researchers and clinicians, and are associated with a collaborative effort to improve care for people living with advanced cancer.
