Darren Fisher, RN BSN
Darren Fisher, RN BSN, has served as a hospice nurse for adult and pediatric patients for the past 11 years. His study of psychology and Buddhism has shaped his holistic approach to patient care. After learning of the beneficial outcomes in clinical studies of psychedelic medicines for those with terminal illness, Darren attended PRATI’s Foundational Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy program in 2021 and has since become faculty for PRATI’s End-Of-Life/Existential Distress Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Training. In addition to facilitating psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions for non-hospice clients, Darren advocates for the adoption of ketamine-assisted therapy in the palliative care and hospice setting to enhance support to patients and their loved ones and co-created a ketamine therapy pilot at the hospice where he works part-time.
