Council for Homeopathic Certification

The Council for Homeopathic Certification is an organization that certifies homeopaths to ensure that they meet a minimum level of knowledge and competence.

They are so important to the homeopathic field that some insurance companies will not provide insurance to you if you have not completed the Council of Homeopathic Certification process. And if you want new business and want to make the recommended homeopathic doctor list, you'd better have this certification.

The main function of the Council for Homeopathic Certification is to act as a licensing agent for the homeopathic field. They have created a set of common homeopathic standards that they believe all homeopaths should follow. While it is not mandatory to have this certification for you to practice homeopathy in the U.S., you will find that it carries much weight among many potential clients. It also encourages other health professionals to give references to you.

In addition to setting common homeopathic standards, the Council for Homeopathic Certification administers exams to certify that the homeopath has a certain level of homeopathic knowledge that the CHC believes he should have.

The Council for Homeopathic Certification is also good for the homeopathic industry. It helps to combat the poor image that homeopathy has among many doctors. Many mainstream doctors look down on homeopathic medicine as an ugly cousin that they don't want to acknowledge. This attitude is changing somewhat mainly due to the efforts of organizations like the Council for Homeopathic Certification who try hard to set and maintain standards for the industry.

The exam fees are reasonable and easily affordable. There is a non refundable application fee of $100. There is a Theoretical Exam fee of $200 and a Practical Exam fee of $200. You can fill out the application form at their website at www.homeopathicdirectory.com. You'll also need supporting documents that indicate your level of training including - where you trained, what level you trained to, letters from superiors, copies of transcripts, and possibly certificates showing that you have completed required anatomy courses.

Other requirements that you need to take into consideration include 500 hours of formal training or equivalent practice experience, you must have had a college level course in anatomy or physiology, and you must also have a current CPR certification.

The Council for Homeopathic Certification is one of the best resources available to you if you want to enter the homeopathic field. They are also available to answer educational questions you may have regarding homeopathic certification.

The Council for Homeopathic Certification works with other many existing homeopathic organizations and companies not only in regards to training and promoting related issues but also to spreading awareness about the matter around the world.

Once you have gone through the submission process, you are required to submit specific clinical training documentation to the Council for Homeopathic Certification. Then you must qualify to submit 5 of your own cases, and it is important to realize that these must be chronic cases which show significant improvement over a time period, which is usually of about or at least six months. Then after this your case is reviewed by the Council and they will decide whether or not you are finally approved, and if so, you will be scheduled for your oral interview. Getting certification is a lot of work but absolutely worth undertaking if you are serious about the field of homeopathy.
