CurriculumThe New York School of Homeopathy Diploma Program is a 4-year professional training course. Our program gives students a strong understanding of homeopathic philosophy coupled with a working knowledge of homeopathic methodology and its clinical application. The NYSH curriculum weaves the teachings of the early masters with the progressive ideas and clinical approaches of 21st century homeopaths.
See "NYSH- Blending the Old and the New".
The curriculum is designed to train confident and excellent practitioners of homeopathy who will apply their knowledge effectively and with enthusiasm. Self directed study is an integral part of our program; challenging homework assignments prepare students for the weekend presentations.
Setting us apart from other schools in New York City, our full-time classroom in Lower Manhattan houses a lending library, study groups, and our Graduate Apprentice Program (GAP Clinic) - an internship program that bridges the gap between graduation and private practice.
Each year includes 10 weekend classes. Every level meets Saturday and Sunday, once a month, from 10:00am to 5:30pm. All classes are held at the New York School of Homeopathy, 139 Fulton Street, Suite 818.
THE FOUR-YEAR DIPLOMA PROGRAM
Year 1- Basics of Homeopathy
The first year introduces the basics of homeopathic history, philosophy and application. Using the principles of homeopathy, we explore the nature of disease and its cure.
Students begin with the practical application of homeopathy by hearing paper cases and observing videos of cured cases. State of the art homeopathic software will be demonstrated. We cover many remedies, including first-aid, acute, and chronic remedies. Students learn to work with the Repertory and discover how to solve basic cases.
Completion of the first year gives students a foundational knowledge of homeopathy and the tools to apply remedies in first-aid and acute situations. You will be prepared for the second year's more intensive study of remedies in groupings.

Intensive exposure to clinical cases through paper, video, and live cases enhances the learning process. Two weekends in the second year are spent observing the NYSH school clinic in action.
Using a unique method of teaching that emphasizes the grouping of remedies, we cover a broad spectrum of remedies. The innovative methods of contemporary masters, including Rajan Sankaran, Divya Chhabra, Jan Scholten, Massimo Mangialavori, and others are explored from this year forward.
