Clinical Training
An integral element of the three year professional course is the clinical training our students receive. This is where the theory learnt at the college weekends is integrated with the practical application of seeing real patients. The clinic is supervised by an experienced qualified homeopath, with each patient being seen by their designated student practitioner and observer before the case is discussed with the supervisor and the other students attending clinic.
Practical Homeopathy
To become a practical, visionary Homeopath, the College understands that students should start working with patients as soon as possible. It is through the experience of taking cases with real patients that students become perceptive and confident practitioners which is why they begin attending the college low cost clinics in the middle of their first year rather than waiting until they have been at college for one or two years. Students new to the clinic participate in the group discussions around case analysis and prescribing then as they gain experience progress to being an observer and when ready they will have their own clinic patients.
Clinical Experience
It is the combination of theory learnt at college weekends and through completing homework with the experience gained at clinic that builds skills that make a competent homeopath. By seeing real patients whilst under supervision students develop their ability in case taking, case management and dealing with complex/difficult cases. Essential personal skills are developed through participation at the clinic as they need to listen objectively to patients and fellow student practitioners; to communicate with clarity; to support people on their healing journey; to be aware of issues of confidentiality and ethics. We find that students progress quickly by studying in this way so that by the time they graduate they are already confident, professional practitioners.
Clinic Hours
Throughout the three years each student will complete a minimum of 150 clinic hours, of which a 120 hours will be internal clinic hours, 20 hours need to be external sitting-in with homeopaths, the extra 10 hours will ideally be made up of external sitting in but may be internal clinics. Students will not be able to graduate until these hours are complete.
Professional Supervision
“Val Lawrence has run a student clinic for many years which has now become part of CVH, I found Val's student clinics to be an essential and valuable part of becoming a Homeopath, the clinic enables one to take cases of clients who are happy for students to work with them knowing that their case will be treated confidentially and that they will get the best treatment as the students are supervised by homeopaths with many years of experience in homeopathy.”
2013 Graduate
“Val has given case supervision over the past four years on all my cases studies and I know that Val looks at each case thoroughly and leaves no stone unturned. Val guided me in various areas according to the case I have taken which has enabled me to take cases and prescribe for clients in a professional manner.”
2014 Graduate
"As a supervisor for student practise Val guides and supports, training us to take a good case, to find our own conclusions and steer us to the appropriate prescription. She coaxes students to investigate further, consider their approaches and dissect their notes, she enables them to discover remedies and prescriptions for themselves, building confidence and ability."
