Supervision
I offer supervision for homeopathy students in my practice at the C.H.A.I.M. Centre in North West London. Once you are taking cases yourself, whatever stage you are at in your homeopathic training, it is important that you are fully insured and attending regular supervision sessions.
These sessions will help you to analyse the case, identify what needs treating, decide on the most appropriate homeopathic method(s) to use, select rubrics for repertorisation, differentiate remedies, reach a prescription and map out the way in which you can expect the case to progress. Supervision is also an opportunity for you to talk through any concerns you are experiencing regarding your training, to receive the support you need when you first enter the realms of clinical practice and to help you meet the graduation requirements of your course. In essence, it can be whatever you want and need it to be.
I know how daunting case-taking can be to begin with and my aim, through, supervision, is to help you build up confidence and develop as a homeopathic practitioner.
Please contact me for further information about attending supervision sessions with me.
Materia Medica Study
Revising for mat med exams or simply trying to expand your knowledge of remedies can be a challenge. During my studies I used a variety of different ways to learn mat med, so here are a few that you might find helpful depending on your preferred learning style:
Mind maps work with the brain and can be a very effective tool for learning mat med as well as other subjects, such as anatomy and physiology.
If you prefer structure and order, then this table might suit your learning style better.
Or try listing the symptoms of a few remedies in random numbered groupings on one page, then write the remedy names by the relevant numbers on a separate page, in order to test yourself before an exam (method courtesy of Mike Bridger).
And if you get bored easily like me (name the remedy!), then you can chop and change between the various techniques above to keep some variety in your learning.
