Studying homeopathy

[Katy]

Hello all
I'm asking for some input on which way to turn to study homeopathy. I am a disillusioned RN who makes a great living participating in a western medicine world I do not believe in. But I like eating and am fond of a roof over my head so I work.

I'd like to begin studying for some form of master degree or PhD if need be in classic Homeopathy. Where would you all send me.? I already have a BSN.

I read Joette Calabrese blog "Homeopathyworks.com" and see she offers classes but I think they are not a way of earning a degree. There are loads of online colleges that offer. I'm not sure how to determine legit offerings.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Katy mc

You can do the Vithoulkas course. It is online, with a moderator answering your questions about theory or practice, not that expensive and my personal opinion, the best online course on Classical Homeopathy. Probably one of the best online or not. At the end you get a diploma though. Anyhow, i also went for a degree but if i knew i would have chosen this course without a second thought.

You can register for free and have a 10 day trial version.

I would also highly recommend David Little's course, Homeopathic Online Education (HOE), offered through his site,

http://www.simillimum.com/ .

It is inexpensive and very thorough. I'm in the middle of it right now.

He has recently added a google group for those taking this course. He does not monitor it, but it really does help to have the camaraderie of others following the same coursework.

Certification is available as well upon completion. This is described on Simillimum.

In health!

You need to start from finding out reIn US homeopathic schools are not regulated - pretty much anybody can open homeopathic school. Just like pretty much anyone can call himself homeopath. Most of the schools in US are weekend/on-line schools. I believe there was a full time school in UK, but never looked into that. The only way to find good one is by word of mouth - you already have some good suggestions from those who responded, plus you can search archives of this group since this question has been discussed several times.

Sorry - hand slipped and pressed "send" in the middle of the word I was typing. You need to start from finding out requirements for opening homeopathic practice in the place you are planning to reside in after school. Also read about education homeopaths in your area have received on their web pages. Call them up, ask them would they recommend that same school or did they have to do a lot of "catch up" studying after graduation. Questions to ask schools: Does the school provide live clinic or do they only show recorded cases and if they do both what is the proportion of one to the other. How many homeopathic clinical hours will you have after graduating a school. Will they cover the cost of clinic in tuition or will they charge extra for each clinic hour. Can discuss cases you are working on using school teacher or will they charge extra for that too. Make sure you get everything in writing from them. Clinical hours is where many people going through training get stuck. Supervision is another big ticket item. You need min of 10 supervised cases and many schools do not include supervision in tuition. Look at qualification of the teachers at the school. Bottom line is - you have to do a lot of digging : )
Good luck, homeopathy is awesome you are on the right track!

Katy,
May I suggest: become a FNP, if you can afford it. Study basic Homeopathy from eg, BHI (British Homeo Inst, Maria Bohles), then you can still make a good living practicing under/with a Homeopathic MD, in any state.

Just thought about the Devon School which is a British homeopathic school.
But they have a branch in the US. The distance learning program is run out
of Conn. Forget the woman who handles it.
There was also a branch in NYC years ago that held classes there.
You might like to look into them. It operates part time and used to have clinic
in 3 & 4 th years.

Katy, My friend Kathy was in a similar situation as a surgical nurse and married a naturopathic doctor. Now she assists in his office. That is how she solved her problem. (:->)

Years ago the National Center for Homeopathy used to offer a short summer school, basically for introducing students to acute prescribing. It was a great way to preview certain teachers and their methods, but I don't think it's still offered.
These days looking at homeopathy schools is a lot like looking at colleges: you have to check them out in person to see which appeal to you. The important considerations, apart from the quality of teaching and a firm grounding in Hahnemann's principles, are whether they offer clinical practice and supervision. There was a school in NYC, again no longer extant, that prohibited its students for the first three years from practicing. Some others want them to jump in right away, which is probably not a good idea.
There are also schools like Bastyr and Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine which train naturopaths, who may or may not concentrate in homeopathy. Very expensive and, as one student pointed out, you have to learn (then unlearn) all the stuff conventional docs do.
There are some good correspondence courses, too, as people on this list will tell you. The first thing is probably to just start taking courses to get a grounding in homeopathy, regardless of whether or not it leads to a "degree" (which you're not likely to find offered by any homeopathic institution in the U.S. since the profession is by and large unlicensed here).
Peace,
Dale
