The American Society of Ketamine Physicians (ASKP) formed in 2017 and had its second annual conference near Denver, Colorado in September 2019. The gathering included over 200 people including: anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, family physicians, internists, nurse anesthetists, patients, pharmacists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, registered nurses, and support staff.
It was astounding to connect with others and learn a myriad of ways ketamine is being used therapeutically in outpatient clinics, homes, and hospitals. The learning not only came from the speakers’ presentations, who were experts in their fields, but also other ASKP members who are out in the trenches applying their unique perspective on ketamine.
