PSVetMed 2026 is our second year of creating colleague connections, opportunities for professional learning, and community conversation at the intersection of veterinary medicine, animal welfare, public health, and psychedelic substances.
The 2026 PSVetMed weekend will bring veterinary and animal-care colleagues together for discussions and professional education on:
-
Animal welfare and public health issues in this emerging industry
-
Applications for veterinary and animal-care professional mental health
-
Clinical preparedness for animal exposures.
-
Coalition-building across in-person and virtual communities.
The weekend parallels the 2026 Aspen Psychedelic Symposium in Colorado.

Participants receive free access to our 3.5 hour virtual, self-paced training course designed specifically for veterinary and animal-care professionals.
This course focusing on the emerging exposures of animals to psychedelic substances, and is part of an education series that funds our post-exposure medical care scholarship and legal defense fund scholarships.
The course intended to provide colleagues with awareness and clinical preparedness information as human interest in these substances and paralleling risk of animal exposures increase.
