Homeopathic Practitioner Program
The Homeopathic Practitioner Certificate Program offers
a three year part-time 1104 clock hour intensive
training program in homeopathic medicine. This program
is designed for allied health paraprofessionals and
licensed health professionals to practice classical
homeopathy. This program is available as both
campus-based and on-line formats. The certificate
program provides solid preparation for the professional
practice of homeopathic medicine. It is based on a firm
academic and practical foundation using the fundamental
principles and philosophy of homeopathic medicine. The
program is responsive to changes in the clinical
environment, the business of health care, health care
systems and characteristics of populations to be
served. The curriculum is designed to enable students
to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes
necessary to meet the educational learning objectives of
the program and the career in which they are being
prepared for. Clinical training is integrated fully
into the program and includes extensive participation in
the AMCH Clinics as well as supervision.
Professionalism and humanism are the hallmarks of the
programs as they are designed to foster the sense of
students as members of a learning community and members
of the homeopathic profession. The online program is
synchronous (students watch the AMCH classroom in real
time and interact directly with classroom based students
and instructors). Online students are required to
participate in onsite clinical training in the second
and third years.. Classes are held one to two days per
week (Thursday through Saturday).
