A CLINICAL DISCUSSION PROGRAMME IN HOMOEOPATHY
(IN WHICH AT LEAST 200 LIVE CASES ARE DEMONSTRATED).
COURSE TITLE
"VISITOR HOMOEOPATH'S EXCHANGE DISCUSSION PROGRAMME" (VHEDP)

It is generally accepted that homoeopathy is practised widely as primary health care in India. Calcutta has a rich heritage in Homoeopathy and offered the first University and Government approved full time homoeopathic 5 years degree course.

All across India homeopathy is accepted as being the major alternative to pharmaceutical medicine and as such has enormous popularity, which is mainly due to its presence in the sub-continent over 150 years as well as its coherence with Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of non-violence.

The Banerjea family has practised Classical Homoeopathy for four generations and the Institute has a long heritage. The tradition of sharing experience is continued through this course and by the teaching of the fourth generation homoeopath, Dr. Banerjea, whose insights into prescribing with his magnificent grasp of the nuances of Materia Medica make these lectures wonderfully rewarding and gives the confidence in prescribing especially in cases with advanced pathology. He often sees around 50 patients a day in this Calcutta Medical Centre, such volume requires the use of extensive ready knowledge of Clinical and Comparative Materia Medica coupled with profound intuition and application of ancestral wisdom. Students of Dr. Banerjea will testify to the remarkable knowledge and enthusiasm which he generously imparts to all who share his passion for this most rational of healing arts. His dedication to the truth of homoeopathy is regarded as inspiring and unsurpassed.

The colleagues of Dr. Banerjea will also lecture and their approach is classical and has vast experience of treating advanced pathologies with homoeopathy.

This programme promotes practical and clinical discussions on Homoeopathy along with exposure to ‘Clinical Methods Of Diagnosis’. The emphasis is primarily on practical homoeopathic prescribing.

The course is intended for graduates of professional courses, newly qualified and those who have been in practice for a number of years. The course is open to people who have had some experience with clinical homoeopathy. The course is unsuitable for complete beginners.

The aims of the course are to:

• Expand clinical experience for homoeopaths across the world,
• Develop your Materia Medica,
• Compare medicines instantly,
• Be a confident prescriber with time tested, century old scientific approach of combining miasms+totality & essence with sound knowledge in Materia Medica,
• Offer a place for continuing education,
• Place a network, meet and work with Homoeopaths worldwide,
• Research and place Homoeopathy in the forefront of health care,
• Continue personal and practice development,
• Enable participants to extend the use of Miasm in everyday practice,
• Practice the art of observation in numerous patients especially with gross pathology and the relevance of Materia Medica,

At the beginning of the course time is spent acknowledging methodologies and stating the methodology generally used by the homoeopaths/doctors within the Institute. This is particularly relevant because due to the quantity of patients at many of the clinics there are methodologies in place, which permit rapid prescribing whilst maintaining a quality of prescription addressing the totality.

It has been said by students of the course that the experience offered by the Institute greatly enhances knowledge, improves confidence and widens horizons. It enables practitioners to know which pathology homoeopathy can safely and successfully address and those it cannot.

There are medical diagnosis sessions, often with patients present, which serve to consolidate existing knowledge, and to have an opportunity to discuss Comparative Materia Medica.

As the course has been in existence for over 22+ years; the staffs and general management understand the needs and expectations of the overseas students. Teaching will be in relevance to that of Europe and other western countries. Discussion and reflection are integral within the sessions.

Due to the nature of the course the numbers are limited to maximise learning opportunities.

It is a privately organised programme, which offers an unique opportunity to share the vast clinical experience of Dr. Banerjea and his colleagues. During the course, participants gain exposure to miasmatic prescribing, clinical discussion, clinical examination and fast prescribing techniques with live case demonstrations.

We do not offer any degree or diploma on completion as this is a Clinical programme for exchange of education, however you will receive an ‘Attendance Certificate’ in which the clinical hours that you have participated will be mentioned. The programme is so designed that each visitor has an opportunity to observe ‘Homoeopathy in Action’ in such diverse cases as Advanced Arthritic problems, Asthma, Cancers, Dementia, Fibroids, Gastric disorders, Hepatitis, Migraines, Psoriasis, Psychiatric disorders, Scleroderma, Sterility, UTI and so forth. Clinical interpretation and Miasmatic approach are thoroughly explained. All visitors can expect to enhance their own clinical intuition and miasmatic knowledge and learn to apply them successfully in everyday practice.

Approximately 200 live cases will be seen during the programme.

The programme aims to close the gap between theory and practice and guarantees the application of miasmatic knowledge and the confident use of Materia Medica and the Organon, in everyday practice. Dr. Banerjea will be especially sharing his ‘Essence Triangle’ and explaining the `sum-up’ and core criteria (‘Key-string’) of each medicine.
