 Individuals of all ages and backgrounds, and from
different parts of the United
States and abroad, come to study at
the ICH. Classes are a mixture of students with and without medical or
homoeopathic knowledge. Some students come from conventional medical or
alternative/complementary medical fields. Others have completed or
transferred from other homoeopathic training programs to learn the
philosophical foundation and classical analysis missed in their previous
training.
All students have in common a sincere desire to
learn and a commitment to benefit others through the practice of good,
classical Hahnemannian homoeopathy. ICH
students work as a team, sharing the skills and perceptions of their
varied backgrounds, and exploring the breadth of the material presented.
Students are admitted to the ICH on the basis
of a written application, references, and a personal interview. Personal
qualities required include a methodical and enthusiastic  approach to study, a receptivity to new ways of thinking, an open mind,
and compassionate motivation. Since the course is college-level study, at
least two years of college is preferable. Applicants must have a high
school diploma or the equivalent, and be able to demonstrate an
appropriate degree of maturity, as well as the ability to apply
themselves. We are now accepting applications for the 2009/2010 school year. However, admission is limited; applications should
therefore be submitted as soon as possible. Late applications will be
considered as space permits. Prospective students are encouraged to sit
in on a class by prior arrangement. Transfer students wishing to enter
the program after the start date must complete specific written and
reading assignments and pass an entrance examination.
The ICH is a
non-profit organization serving the public, and therefore endeavors to
keep fees affordable. Fees are payable in advance on an annual,
semi-annual or term basis. Fees paid on a semi-annual or term basis are
charged at a slightly higher rate. The ICH reserves the right to increase
fees, with prior BPPVE approval, prior to the beginning of the academic
year.
Currently, tuition is $4,500 per year for
homoeopathy courses. There are two medical science classes required for
graduation. The ICH offers these classes for an additional $400 per
class. Seminar fees are separate from ICH tuition and are payable prior
to each seminar. Students receive a discount on all ICH seminars.
Some students have been able to obtain tuition grants from private
foundations and individual sponsors. Once a student is accepted to the
ICH, the Institute will give active support to any prospective students
undertaking grant applications.
The ICH admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin,
gender, or sexual orientation, to all the rights, privileges, programs,
and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the
school. It does not discriminate on the basis of the administration of
its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship programs, and
other school-administered programs.
The school
reserves the right to alter, with prior BPPVE approval, elements of the
program including content, hours, duration, graduation criteria,
facilities, location and fees, where necessary in the best interests of
the Institute, students, or homoeopathy in general.
