Homeopaths Abbreviations

[cmbyrd50]

FSHom, RSHom, (NA), CCH

Could someone tell me what these abbreviations stand for that go
behind a Homeopaths name?
Thank You, Colleen

In the US, RSHom (NA) would indeed be "registered with the Society of Homeopaths in North America), and "CCH" would mean "Certified in Classical Homeopathy." The latter is the designation that all of the homeopathic certifying bodies in the US have agreed upon, with the same certification examinations and requirements. (i.e., naturopathic physicians board certified in homeopathy, the American Institute of Homeopathy, the Homeopathic Society for Registered Nurses, the North American Society of Homeopaths.) This agreement is a relatively recent development, within the last 2-3 years, I believe, as a move toward unifying the homeopathic profession in the US whatever the original health care training of the individual.

If US, it's "Certificate in Classical Homeopathy", from completion of a
three-year program.
