doctors with homoeopathic background. Moreover, Dr Subrata K. Banerjea,
Principal of the College, is a fourth generation homoeopath; an
internationally respected teacher and clinical Homoeopath who
regularly lectures around the world, wherever homoeopathy is known!
His international reputation for the last 25+ years, both as an
inspiring teacher and successful clinician is based on his extensive
experience of treating heavy pathology with homoeopathy. Many
successful homoeopaths and teachers, around the world, have been

Clinical Training Programme:
|
|
i. Initially
students observe live case-taking in the Allen Clinic. Then progress to
participate in case analysis and prescribing. Later on, students are
able to be active in case-taking, prescribing and case management under
the supervision of the clinical director. The clinics are enjoyable and
inspiring as the students have a consistent exposure to live patients
and will fully participate in their treatment. Students witness the
changes and cured cases in the college clinic, which gives them immense
confidence to practise. Experience has shown us that students begin
their patient base and reputation in the third and fourth years of the
course when they begin their own consultations with patients under
constructive supervision.
ii. There is plenty of opportunity for clinical discussion and
clinical and comparative Materia Medica with remedy differentiation
throughout the course.
iii. Students graduate with over 400 hours of clinical
experience.
iv. The course is developed specifically to produce practising
homoeopaths who will be able to set up successful practice. |
