Established in 1975, the Course has by now been streamlined so that on completing the Course, the student-physicians become competent to practice Homeopathy on their own, to teach Homeopathy, and to conduct Research. The Institute has evolved the concept of Standardized Homeopathy, all the practices flowing from this, and the students are well on the way to master it at the end of the Course.

Action-based Learning is a Hallmark of the Course, the Clinical Training being its heart. The teaching methodology is based on the principle of Case-to-Concept, all the work focusing on the cases seen in actual practice.

The Course addressed to fresh medical graduates and physicians already in practice. Some of the salient features are given below:

HALLMARKS
