Training for health professionals

In short: Essential Biochemistry for Mental Health™ (How Cells Stay Healthy): a 20-hour self-paced online course for doctors, practitioners, pharmacists and the general public. Taking the course gives members of the public no authority to use this material in practice.

Our professional course, Essential Biochemistry for Mental Health™: How Cells Stay Healthy, teaches doctors, health practitioners and pharmacists what research shows about the biochemistry and pathology of mental health. It is self-paced, online and takes about 20 hours. This course is also available for the public for self information.

Who teaches it

The online course is delivered by AI avatars, so that BBH controls exactly what is said. The content was prepared from BBH's collected knowledge, BBH-driven original research, the experience of BBH doctors and leading international cell physiology research, and is based on the original knowledge base of pathology for mental health. The course focuses on the content and how to apply it, as an addition to current clinical care protocols for managing mental health.
