In January 1992,
the International Academy of Homeopathy and the Toronto Homeopathic
Clinic introduced the first Homeopathic Practitioner programme
in Canada. The programme was established in order to meet the
growing need for qualified practitioners taught according to the
principles of classical homeopathy. Since its inception, the College
has trained doctors, varied health care practitioners and others
in the theory and practice of classical homeopathy.
In
1995, the Homeopathic College of Canada (HCC) was founded as a
non-profit educational institution. The College's objectives are
to establish the homeopathic profession in Canada and to foster
continuing education and research in the field of homeopathic
medicine. The HCC will continue to teach and promote education
and research in homeopathy throughout the world, to establish
higher educational standards and quality care through homeopathic
medicine and other adjunctive complementary approaches. Increased
public awareness and the demand for accessible and effective health
care have meant that the HCC has grown dramatically over the last
few years.
