For people who are interested in beginning a career in alternative medicine, there is a growing interest in homeopathic medicine. Through its affiliate programs, Edison Institute of Nutrition offers students the opportunity to study homeopathic medicine, while earning their diploma in holistic nutrition.
What is Homeopathic Medicine?
Homeopathic medicine, or homeopathy, is based on the principle that like cures like. Homeopathic practitioners know that by administering a small dose of the substance, that in its original form would create the same symptoms in a healthy person, can enhance the body’s healing process and cure the disease. The homeopath recommends a highly diluted remedy, whose symptoms most closely resembles the symptoms of the patient.
Homeopathy has been used to treat disorders, such as, allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis and more. Homeopathic health practitioners take a holistic approach to healthcare by taking a thorough history, focusing on all aspects of the patient’s emotional, mental, and physical totality of symptoms.
Earning a Diploma in Homeopathy
Students earning a Diploma in Holistic Nutrition through Edison Institute of Nutrition can earn a Diploma in Homeopathy concurrently. Through an affiliation with the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine and the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine, students can take advantage of these two complementary modalities to broaden their understanding of holistic health. Edison Institute students earn their diploma and receive appropriate exemptions, credits, and tuition discounts, when taking the homeopathic degree program. Students enrolled in the holistic nutrition program are exempt from the nutrition courses required for the homeopathic medicine degree.
The Homeopathic Diploma Program
Students can choose a flexible homeopathic medicine degree program with options, including weekend classes, evening classes, and online choices. A comprehensive clinical internship is also available. The three-year program includes a home study to keep up with lecture material and 3 – 5 hours of case analysis for every hour of clinical observation during the second and third years.
The comprehensive program includes coursework in the principles and philosophy of homeopathy. Lectures discuss symptoms that are cured by homeopathy, and students learn case taking, analysis, and management.
They will study Materia Medica and learn about the homeopathic remedies. They gain hands-on, practical experience during a clinical externship. The homeopathic diploma program delves into fields such as gastroenterology, urology, dermatology, cardiology, and rheumatology.
