Activity Description

MDMA, or 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, is a synthetic amphetamine derivative known as a recreational drug since the 1980s by street names like "Ecstasy," "Molly," and "XTC." The entactogenic properties foster euphoria, memory retrieval, and enhanced sensory perception. This course sheds light on clinical aspects of MDMA use, emphasizing its potential life-threatening impact on cardiovascular, neurological, renal, and hepatic systems.

Participants will gain the skills to assess, manage, and recognize adverse effects to intervene promptly. Beyond individual competencies, the course underscores the significance of an interprofessional care approach. A dynamic blend of case studies, expert insights, and practical scenarios equips learners to navigate MDMA-related emergencies with precision. The course highlights the pivotal role of addressing MDMA-induced morbidity, emphasizing effective communication and shared decision-making. By bridging the practice gap collectively, clinicians and allied healthcare professionals will be empowered to deliver optimal care, improving patient outcomes in instances of MDMA-related emergencies.
