About the Homeopathic College of Canada

	The Homeopathic College of Canada


	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.



	New Curriculum The Homeopathic College of Canada, after thirteen years of leadership in Homeopathic Education, is pleased to announce a major revision of its curriculum. This is intended to meet the stands of education to practice as a homeopath under the new Ontario Homeopathy Act of 2007. It integrates basic science studies (anatomy, physiology and pathology) into ensuring high clinical standards by including "standardized" patients as part of students' experiences. The revised curriculum can be completed in over three years, but opportunities exist for part-time studies at Certificate and Diploma levels. (Details available from the Registrar, including admission requirements.) The School only takes twelve new full-time applicants each year and ensures personal education to guarantee the excellence in Homeopathic training. Prospective students are invited to contact the college for a phone discussion or an appointment to visit the College. The Homeopathic College of Canada not only provides an education to practice quality homeopathic care, but also is concerned with developing future leaders of the profession.
