Overview

The Institute of Classical Homoeopathy is pleased to offer its complete course on the fundamentals of Classical Homeopathy and their practical application. This course is an excellent opportunity to begin your homeopathic studies online at the same high standard as the ICH Professional Training Course. It is also an excellent way for healthcare professionals to gain a solid foundation in homeopathic science along with the practical information to make it immediately useful in practice.

The course material is a concise version of a portion of the first year of the ICH four-year professional program. Its aim is to give students a solid understanding of homeopathy as a science and healing art, as well as the information necessary to treat emergency and first-aid situations with accuracy and effectiveness. This is the cutting edge of homeopathic education, based on extensive hands-on experience.

Course Description

The “Essentials” course is designed to lead the student through eleven modules of progressive learning, beginning with the historical development of homeopathic thought and research, and ending with precise instruction on how to use the medicines. It provides a solid grounding in the principles of practice, and the astoundingly effective protocols based on those principles.

The course is completed at one’s own pace, in the context of an ongoing dialogue with the instructor, and an ample opportunity to ask questions. In order to insure that the student has a solid understanding of current material before going on to the next subject, each module has a homework assignment of several short essay questions.

The course material is supported by reading assignments in selected homeopathic texts. A booklist of required and recommended books is provided.

Healthcare Professionals

The course is appropriate for any serious student, and will be especially useful to physicians, osteopaths, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, veterinarians, chiropractors, midwives, acupuncturists, dentists, oral surgeons and other healthcare practitioners. The course is also appropriate for healthcare consultants, social service and counseling professionals who seek a sound basis for referring clients to homeopathic practitioners. Continuing education credit is available for some professions.

Other Students

If you are not a healthcare professional but have a sincere desire to learn about homeopathy to benefit yourself and others, this is a good place to start. This fascinating course will give you the tools to broaden your perspective of health, disease, and cure, and inspire you to continue to learn. The material is designed to answer the many questions left unanswered by most modern presentations of homeopathy, and to offer students an orderly, logical framework for developing their understanding. Both healthcare professionals and laypeople have found it intriguing, fascinating, and very useful. It is written in a way that is easy to understand, but explores each topic in considerable depth.

This is not a “cookbook approach” to homeopathy. It is a thought-provoking, eye-opening exploration of a fascinating subject, presented in a progressive learning format for the intelligent student.

After completion of this course, students can continue their studies in more depth and breadth in the ICH professional program, or continue on to the next levels of online studies as they are offered. Whatever part of the world you live in, you can begin to study with the ICH, building a strong foundation for future studies, and gaining understanding and practical skills to take into your communities.
