The course begins with the First year; this year gives the student a vital and solid foundation in homeopathic principles, philosophies and methodologies.
Homeopathic remedy pictures (materia medica) form a central core to the First year syllabus, giving a holistic insight into the dis-ease process of
the individual.
Students are shown how to apply case-taking skills to both acute and chronic cases. The Classical method is taught as
the foundation for case analysis and prescribing, leading to more practically based methodologies later in the year.
The medical sciences curriculum runs concurrently with the homeopathic syllabus allowing integration between these two complementary areas.
We believe that practitioner development and group work are a vital part of the course. They encourage cohesive relationships within the
class dynamic and generate the rapport skills necessary for relating to patients in clinic.
Clinical training begins in the last term of the First year at the Ainsworths pharmacy and enables the student to apply
their theoretical knowledge to a practical application with patients.
In the clinical situation students expand their case-taking skills; learn to develop an understanding of the patient’s emotional
history; receive and analyse symptoms and work on case management.
