Second year
In your second year you'll start to study integrated homeopathy which is our specialist approach to the subject. This includes new methodologies, clinical skills and the specialised treatment of specific diseases.
These areas are expanded and consolidated each year leading to an in-depth understanding of both classical and practical homeopathy.
You'll learn many therapeutic remedies, herbal remedies and be introduced to energy systems and nutrition.
Your clinical training progresses to active case-taking, prescribing and case management under the supervision of the clinical director. In your second year you'll begin supervision with an external supervisor. This will continue into your third year.
