Understanding Pediatric Homeopathic Practice Case-Taking, Analysis & Follow-Up with Kim Elia March 10 - 11, 2012 This seminar is for those who have a basic knowledge of the tools of homeopathy: the repertory, materia medica and the Organon. Seminar description Working from cured cases, Kim will explore the unique challenges presented by children in the consulting room, and offer practical suggestions for case taking, analysis, and case management. Kim will present cases of some less commonly prescribed remedies for children, along with the materia medica of a host of remedies including some less well known jewels from our materia medica. Special consideration will be given to the themes of the Snake Remedies in pediatrics. This seminar with Kim will empower you to practice pediatric homeopathy with confidence. Over an exciting weekend, the essentials of homeopathic practice will be examined in detail, and the universal questions – common to new practitioners and students alike – will be answered with clarity. With exemplary paper and video cases as grounding, Kim’s presentation will reference a combination of historical and contemporary methods that have a proven track record in daily practice. Beginning with Hahnemann's approach to case taking as outlined in the Organon, you’ll explore a range of approaches, including new discoveries: insights from the fields of contemporary psychology and neuro-linguistic programming that can aid in eliciting the information needed for a successful prescription. Our agenda also includes case analysis. We’ll explore a variety of approaches — from Boenninghausen’s use of location, sensation, modality and concomitant, to more current systems. Effective use of the Repertory, including rubric selection and construction of a formal analysis will be covered, along with case management and follow-up. Special topics like supervising pediatric patients with serious pathology and those on allopathic medications are also included. A thorough review of posology - potency and dose – will answer your questions and provide you with a systematic way to approach each and every case, ensuring reproducible results and a successful, rewarding practice.

Kim has all of these and more. He has a humility that belies a deep well of knowledge. At a time when there is much that is speculative and guesswork in homeopathic education Kim is able to ground his work in excellent theory and convincing cases. But as well as his case work, Kim's strength is his materia medica and students the world over have benefited from his seminars and webinars on our remedy indications often utilising the best of the latest technology. He is not just a true teacher of the art and science of homeopathy, he is also very, very funny. You just have to attend. Cheers." — Alastair Gray Complex Ideas Communicated Clearly "Kim Elia is a remarkable teacher. He has a very deep understanding of the principles and practice of homeopathy, but most notably, the ability to communicate these clearly and systematically. I've been quite impressed with his ability to introduce complex topics to beginning students in ways they can easily comprehend; and Kim remains one of the colleagues with whom I most enjoy discussing and debating our shared profession." — Will Taylor, MD Dynamic Teacher "Every time I hear Kim teach, I say to myself: ‘What a dynamic teacher!’ He has prepared his material so very well and offers it with such clarity, with a waterfall of questions that demand that the student actually think about the issues being discussed. No doubt that anyone participating in such a high caliber teaching session will walk out refreshed and, most of all, significantly more knowledgeable!" — Frederik Schroyens, MD Mastery of Homeopathic Literature "Kim Elia is one of our most outstanding teachers and exponents of Homeopathy.
