Professional Continuing Education for Naturopathic Doctors:
Homeopathic Materia Medica Study of Selected Remedies for use in Clinical Practice
Beginning March 28, 2013 we will be holding Thursday evening sessions for Naturopathic Physicians to engage in continuing education as related to the use of homeopathy in their clinical practice. The specific area of focus for these classes will be the study of the materia medica of selected remedies for use in Clinical Practice.
Details:
- Class duration will be 2 hours, 6:30 - 8:30 pm CST.
- The sessions will be conducted live and participants can attend either:
- via teleconference
- in person
- Attendance will be taken and recorded at the beginning and end of each session and a record of attendance will be mailed quarterly to participants as documentation of sessions you for which you were present and participated.
- Sessions will be recorded and will be available as a downloable file for your ongoing reference. A link to each session will be emailed to participants following each session.
- Every session will also include thorough notes on the material presented. These will accompany the email which includes the link to the audio recording.
- Doctors interested in participating in the education sessions, but who cannot make the live calls, are encouraged to contact Dr. Eli Camp for the download link and notes. In order to prove that you have completed these sessions, there will be a quiz you can login and complete (a link to these quizzes will be sent with the link for the audio file). The completed quizzes are time-date stamped and are automatically delivered to E Camp, ND. This record can be provided to the participant as proof of completion of the session.
A special note: quizzes cover material in the notes AND the discussion that happens throughout the session. - Each session will cover at least two Homeopathic Remedies. If the remedies are smaller, we may discuss up to three and if we are looking at a comparison of a family, there could be more. In general, when discussing two remedies, class will be structured as follows:
- 6:30 - 7:25 pm : Remedy 1
- 7:25 - 7:35 pm : Break
- 7:35 - 8:30 pm : Remedy 2
- The discussion of each remedy will be comprised of the following:
- the indications for the remedy
- the general information contained in the Materia Medica from various authors such as Hahnemann, Hering, Kent, Vithoulkas, Dunham, Allen, and other Homeopaths
- the clinical use of the remedy
- 1-3 case studies of the remedy depending on the allowed time and the quantity of materia medica to be covered for each remedy.
For example - there is extensive materia medica to study for homeopathic Sulphur and as such there may only be time for 1 case study per session. We can revisit Sulphur at a later date if there is a need to cover additional case studies.
- Presenters: Eli Camp, ND
- There will likely be additional presenters over the course of time and these will be individuals who can demonstrate they are qualified to lead the session.
