Third year
You'll be building on your knowledge base in your third year. You'll learn new styles of prescribing; understand energy systems, nutrition, herbal remedies and a vast range of therapeutic remedies, while still keeping a firm grasp of homeopathic philosophy.
At the student clinic, you'll start seeing your own patients and undertaking case analysis in your clinic group. You'll also begin supervision with an external supervisor who'll be an additional learning support as you develop your homeopathic practice.
