I originally studied homeopathy in South Africa and obtained a masters degree. Homeopathic education is quite different from that in the UK with the M.Tech (Hom) taking place over five years on a full time basis with eventual qualification and skills enabling practice as a primary care worker. Much of the training is in parallel to clinical medicine degrees.

Unlike homeopathic programmes in other parts of the world, with the UK as a specific reference, where the delineation of training as either ‘medical’ (MBChB & post graduate MFHom) or ‘professional’ (e.g. B.Sc.(Hons) at Westminster, or the college system) is clear, the M.Tech (Hom) is a hybrid curriculum. The curriculum comprises intensive study in the traditional medical sciences (on par with the MBChB curricula) in the formative three years, ‘mutating’ into an exclusively homeopathic programme to the 5th year.

Medical experience is gained in state hospitals including patient consultations, ward rounds and assisting with surgical procedures. My own areas of focus include paedeatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, general medicine and psychiatry.After gaining this degree I then studied for a further optional two years and ran a homeopathic practice before moving to the UK.
