In January 1992, The International
Academy of Homeopathy (IAH) 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 IAH 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 IAH continues to promote education and
research in homeopathy throughout the world. HCC has grown dramatically
over the last few years. The curriculum and faculty continue to expand. |

Increased public awareness
for accessible and effective health care have meant that the demand
for the alternative health care has increased dramatically. However
care should be noted about different homeopathic training businesses
that may not meet the standards that existed in Ontario when homeopathy
was regulated. |

Students in the Homeopathic
Medicine programme receive a solid foundation in anatomy, physiology,
pathology and related sciences. They are taught case-oriented, patient-based,
complementary medicine, with an extensive clinical externship which
provides the practical experience necessary to work in the health
care field. At the HCC, students, educators and practitioners work
diligently to increase the understanding of preventative and alternative
medicines and to intensify the knowledge of human health. |
