PAHM (Pacific Academy of Homeopathic Medicine) in Oakland (or possibly
Berkeley or San Francisco), California.
I do find it interesting that we were taught mostly 4th ed management,
yet all of our Organon reading was from that combined 5th/6th ed
volume. I suppose (without knowing) that it reflects the way that our
teachers initially learned, since (as you know) 6th ed method has not
been so well known in the US; tho increasingly so, it seems.
"Increasing potency for each dose" is of course not done in 4th ed
method; it was taught us in context of LMs.
I'd hoped I might still have the full syllabus, but looks like I didn't
keep that (or else just haven't found it). But I do have study
guidelines for the CHC test, which lists books to study as Organon (5th
and 6th ed), Kent, Vithoulkas, Boericke, Allen, and similar; 15% of the
score is for "Phiklosophy", which is all stuff from Organon and CD;
then 16% "case taking, analysis, follow-up and management", which again
is heavily from Organon.
That school, and also the CHC, is specifically focused on *classical*
homeopathy, and perhaps that's the issue? I don't know how one could
be "classical" without having a firm grounding in the Organon, but
presumably not every "homeopathy" school is teaching the *classical*
method--maybe that's the problem you've run into?
There's the interesting remark that, "Every effort will be made to
assure that the examinations are not biased for or against any
particular school of thought within classical homeopathy." Mmm,
schools within schools within schools...
