Introduction
Basic objectives
of education and training in a Homoeopathic institution is to
prepare a competent Homoeopathic Physician who is capable of
functioning independently and effectively under Rural and Urban
set ups
In order to achieve this, the following syllabus and curriculum
has been designed:
A. Sound Foundation:
To function effectively as a Homoeopathic physician a thorough
grasp over the medical concepts is imperative. For this, the
educational process shall be perceived as an integrated evolving
process and not merely as an acquisition of a large number of
disj in ed facts.
A student shall have to pass through a Training procedure which
encompasses the above well, right from 1st BHMS to IV BHMS and
also during the internship period.
He shall undergo an education process wherein learning of Facts
and Concepts right from 1st Year are in a continuity, in an
evolutionary & progressive pattern. In 1st BHMS, student
shall study the fundamental principles of Homoeopathy and will
also learn more of applied anatomy than a multitude of minor
anatomical details.
In IInd BHMS, a student shall be exposed to very vital
concepts of susceptibility and symptomatology with
Analysis-Evaluation and details of the Homoeopathic concepts,
old logic of Homoeopathy. These will attain much deeper
significance (if care is taken by teachers of pathology and
Organon-Philosophy) when the current knowledge of INFLAMMATION,
IMMUNITY, is correlated well with concepts of susceptibility.
In II1rd BHMS, there is opportunity to fortify the
foundation at the best by correlating between Theory of Chronic
Diseases and the Patho-Physiological facts on the Gynecology,
Surgery and Medicine. A student shall have to be taught the
spectrums of various diseases in correlation with the spectrum
of miasmatic manifestations. He will then be able to use a well
concluded EVALUATION ORDER OF Characteristics to derive an
Operationally valid repertorial Totality.
The knowledge gathered in this pattern will keep him constantly
aware of his objectives and his role as a Homoeopathic
Physician. The Integration will eliminate the state of
confusion. The Therapeutics Actions then will be right and
Complete, utilizing the full repertories of the Medicinal and
Non-medicinal measures, keeping him up-to-date about all fresh
scientific developments and inculcating values of Continuous
Medical Education.
B. Execution:
Maximum emphasis shall be placed on the applied aspects of all
the subjects. Thus teachings of Anatomy, Physiology and
Biochemistry will demand greater emphasis on applied aspects of
these sciences. Teaching of Pathology will demand sharp focus on
general Pathology, while Regional Pathology will come up as an
application. It shall require correlation with Medicine, Surgery
and Gynaecology. All these need to be studied from Homoeopathic
perspectives, hence emphasis on applied aspect of Organon
Philosophy & Homoeopathic Therapeutics representing application
to all other subjects.
C. Inter-Departmental Co-ordination:-
Essentially, the entire approach becomes an integrated approach.
All departments shall develop a cohesive well defined programme
which demand marked inter-departmental co-ordination.
It is therefore desirable to have teaching programmes wherein,
by rotation each department participates in the teaching co-ordinating
well with the other faculties with constant updating and
evaluation. The co-ordination has to be in the way as given in
the text under each subject inside these Regulations. This will
ensure fundamental and exceptional clarity.
D. Deductive-Inductive Teachings:-
While teaching, there shall be balance in designing deductive
and inductive process in mind. There shall be less emphasis on
didactic lectures. Major portion of the time of the students
shall be devoted to demonstrations, group discussions. seminars
and clinics. Every attempt shall be made to encourage students
to participate in all these to develop his personality,
character, expressions and to ensure the grasp over concepts
rapidly.
E. Patient Oriented Teachings:-
In order to impart the integrated medical education PATIENT has
to be in the Centre right from day one of the IInd BHMS.
Importance of social factors in relation to the problem of
health and disease shall receive proper emphasis throughout the
course and to achieve this objective, the educational process
shall be community as well as hospital based.
Based on the above concepts the course of studies as laid down
in these Regulations will help to fulfil these needs. While
doing so, the need of the hour, past experience in learning and
teaching is taken into consideration.
The subjects are as follows:
Homoeopathy Pharmacy
Anatomy & Physiology
Homoeopathic Materia Medica
Organon of Medicine and Principles of Homoeopathic Philosophy &
Psychology
Pathology, Bacteriology and Parasitology
Forensic Medicine and Toxicology
Preventive, Social Medicine and Family Welfare
Surgery including Homoeopathic Therapeutics
Obstetrics Gynaecology and Infant Hygiene
Community Medicine
Medicine including Homoeopathic Therapeutics
Homoeopathic Repertory
