Re: Studying homeopathy

Post by Dale Moss »

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
