Year One    Homeopathy Theory & Fundamentals, treating the individual & case-taking

When homeopaths take a case, they initiate a journey that will run through many layers of human experience. Throughout this journey, the homeopath is helping the patient pursue deeper levels in order to grasp the essence of the disharmony and match it with the energetic signature or vibration of a creative expression in nature, and thus release the creative impulse which is “caught” in the distorted expression often expressed as disease. This descent into the patient’s consciousness is a process that had to wait for Jungian Psychology and quantum physics in order to be fully understood and worked with in an effective way.

A method and a map has evolved during two hundred years of homeopathic practice. Case-taking groundwork is laid by understanding the science of homeopathy and the basic principles which guide classical homeopathic practice. Readings include the following books among others:  

Hahnemann: Organon

Hahnemann: Chronic Diseases, Theoretical part

Kent: Lectures on Homeopathic Philosophy

Robert: Principles and Art of Cure

Close: Genius of Homeopathy

Dr. P Sankaran:  The Elements of Homeopathy,  The Spirit of Homeopathy, The Substance of Homeopathy, The Vital Sensation, Schema 2005.

G. Vithoulkas: The Science of Homeopathy

The evolution of homeopathic understanding and practice will be clearly exposed in a seamless interweaving of old and new. Clinical practice runs throughout the course, and begins, unlike many schools, right away in first year with in-class cases and role playing, cured cases and taped cases.

Year Two    Advanced Philosophy, Case Management and Clinical Experience

Students begin to do their own research on remedies and provings and share their results with their group and the class.

Continued study of Hahnemann’s Organon, and other original sources of the most authentic and successful classical homeopathy deepens the students’ understanding of the philosophy and methodology which makes homeopathy a superior system of medicine.

Based on this solid groundwork, students develop their consultation, observation and perception skills through clinical observations, and the presentation of acute and chronic case studies under the guidance of an experienced homeopath.

The courses focus on helping students to understand symptoms based on her/his relationship to the archetypal world; the use of language and imagery, energetic sense, intuition and an non-dualistic framework to help inquire and make sense of apparently conflicting information.

Year Three Complex Cases and more Clinical Experience

The material taught in the two previous years is consolidated at the advanced level of the practitioner. This year is critical in integrating all of the material with practical applications allowing the student to become confident in their methodology, understanding of the science and practice of the art of homeopathy.

Advanced case taking and clinical experience, complex cases, severe acute and chronic disorders, lesser known remedies, and management of cases form the core of the training in the final year.

The MICH Clinic provides the perfect environment for Internship and Supervision. A fully stocked reference library, homeopathic computer programs and remedies are available to the Interns as they build  their client base during their supervision.

During the third year students have the opportunity to join Homeopaths without borders and Terres sans Frontieres as a form of internship under the supervision of experienced homeopaths. By spending 2-6 weeks in a third world country, the intern is exposed to acute and severe conditions and gains first hand experience in the power of homeopathic treatment.
