Oregon psilocybin facilitator training curriculum
Oregon's licensed psilocybin facilitator pathway rests on a 120-hour core curriculum plus a 40-hour practicum, structured around nine required topic areas. It is a supported-adult-use model rather than a clinical one, so the curriculum leans on facilitation, safety and cultural equity rather than medical treatment or research measurement.

Requirements mapped (9)
Each requirement or module as named in the source, with the best-fit competency categories and any confident competency links. Categories link to the full competency list for that part of the taxonomy.
Historical, Traditional, and Contemporary Practices and Applications
Traditional and contemporary psilocybin practice, plus the Controlled Substances Act and its effect on research and drug policy.
Cultural Equity in relation to Psilocybin Services
Racial injustice, health inequity and intergenerational trauma as they bear on access to psilocybin services.
Linked competencies
Safety, Ethics and Responsibilities
Baseline safety practice, professional ethics and the responsibilities of a licensed facilitator.
Linked competencies
Psilocybin Pharmacology, Neuroscience, and Clinical Research
How psilocybin acts in the brain and body, and how to read the clinical-research literature.
Linked competencies
The module covers research literacy, but the curriculum sets no requirement to administer outcome measures, so it is not mapped to data, documentation and outcomes.
Core Facilitation Skills
The relational and practical skills of holding space for a client through a psilocybin session.
Linked competencies
Preparation and Orientation
Preparing clients, orienting them to the experience, set and setting, and consent to services.

Where this framework is quiet
We could not map any of this framework's named requirements to the following 1 category. A quiet category usually reflects the framework's model rather than a flaw, but it is worth knowing where the official text is silent relative to the trial-evidenced competency picture.
