Dear Prospective Students:
I invite you to attend the American Medical College of Homeopathy. Those who hear the call to serve humanity as a
healer often choose homeopathy as a career. They do so because they perceive that medicine should treat the whole
person, doing so in a safe and gentle way that works with the body’s innate healing potential.
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine set upon principles hundreds of years old. It is the second most common
form of alternative medicine in the world today and the fastest growing. It is safe, inexpensive and curative of chronic
disease. In homeopathic medicine, we strive to meet the needs of today’s patients.
Homeopathy is based on fundamental principles that have been used effectively in healing for thousands of years. These
principles help to make homeopathy a distinct system of health care and these principles guide the practice of
homeopathic medicine.
Homeopathic education uses a distinctive way of educating. At its bottom, it is learning about all life and is
extraordinarily broad in its scope. True learning gets to the heart of what it is to be human. It gives us the capacity to
recreate ourselves, to do what we never could do before and to change our relationship to the world. Homeopathic
education is dedicated to changing students’ ways of seeing and perceiving the world. We believe there is a deep need
inside each of us for this kind of learning.
At AMCH, we provide a collaborative, inspiring learning environment that provides a solid foundation for practice.
We have a community of exceptional and dedicated healers and provide a student-oriented faculty. We strive to create
an intellectually stimulating and emotionally satisfying environment of inquiry. We offer a variety of programs ranging
from introductory to a 3-year homeopathic practitioner certificate program.
Students experience a high quality academic and clinical education. Central to our curriculum philosophy is clinical
training that comprises much of our curriculum to prepare graduates for a career as a homeopathic practitioner. We
also place strong value on individualized learning, humanism, self-awareness, business skills and community as
integral parts of the education of being a healer.
We offer both on the ground training in Phoenix, Arizona as well as distance learning options for all of our programs.
Please take time to research the options and carefully consider the benefits of choosing AMCH as the path to your
future in alternative medicine. I congratulate you for embarking on a stimulating journey toward a rewarding career
serving humanity through homeopathic medicine.
Warmly,
Todd Rowe MD, MD(H), CCH, DHt
President

About Homeopathic Medicine
History of Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicine is the heir to the
empirical (based on experience) vitalistic
tradition of medicine in the Western World.
The roots of empirical medicine stem back
for thousands of years and are found in
diverse cultures. Its practitioners promote
the inherent healing potential of the body
and a holistic, patient-centered approach
to health and disease.
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann founded homeopathy
over 200 years ago. Hahnemann was one of
the most brilliant physicians of his day and had the wisdom
and courage to develop a revolutionary new system of medicine.
He has left a legacy through his writings and work that has helped to transform the face of modern
medicine and has brought great health to millions of people around the world.
Today homeopathy is the second most common form of alternative medicine in the world and is the
fastest growing. Homeopathy is practiced in every country around the world and is particularly
popular in Europe, India, South Africa and South America.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that is holistic, scientifically based, safe to use,
inexpensive and can cure chronic disease. It is a system of medicine that is unique and different
from other therapies like naturopathic medicine, herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutritional medicine
and mind-body medicine. While founded by Samuel Hahnemann over 200 years ago, the principles
on which it is based have been utilized in healing for thousands of years. Homeopathic remedies
work through activating the body’s own powers of self-regulation and self-healing. Since its
inception, homeopathy has benefited people from all walks of life and of any age, in countries all
over the world.
An important principle in homeopathy is that each of us is unique. The same diet, the same advice
and the same homeopathic remedy will not necessarily help everyone with the same disease.
Homeopathy treats the individual and not the disease. Through striving to find the unique remedy
that fits the individual, the door is unlocked to the client’s self healing.
Homeopathy is not only effective in treating chronic disease, but also highly effective in treating
acute disease and is used in first aid. There are more than three thousand homeopathic remedies
from which to choose. These remedies are made from herbs, plants, minerals, metals and animal
products that are prepared in such a way to bring out the healing power of the substance. They are
quite safe, gentle and do not produce side effects. They are also quite inexpensive compared to the
cost of standard medical treatment.
8
Principles of Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is based on six fundamental principles. These principles help to make homeopathy a
distinct system of health care and guide the practice of homeopathic medicine.
The Curative Power of Life: The physician's highest calling is to cure. Homeopaths have
found the key to achieve this by unlocking the healing power of substances from the natural
world. All of life has the capacity to heal.
The Law of Similar's: Homeopathic medicine matches the medicine to the patient. Patients
bring a unique and integrated symptom picture that completely represents their disease state.
Each medicine has a unique and integrated symptom picture. When the medicine’s picture is
as similar as possible to that of the patient, the medicine acts curatively. This is the Law of
Similar's which is nature's law of cure.
Energy Medicine: All of life is energy. The deepest level of expression of any organism is its
vital force. The purpose of homeopathy is to restore the patient's balance and harmony. In
disease, what needs to be cured is the mis-tunement of the vital force. Homeopathic
medicines directly affects the vital force. They stimulate the self-healing power of the
individual.
Removing Obstacles to Cure: Healing can be impeded by obstacles such as drugs, diet, stress,
and other emotional or physical factors in the environment of the patient. For this reason,
the role of homeopaths include the task of helping patients identify and remove these
obstacles. It is also important that while doing so, practitioners act in a non-judgmental and
compassionate way.
Less is More: The quantity of action necessary to effect any change in nature is the least
possible. The body heals itself with maximum economy. Homeopaths use the minimum
dose necessary to effect cure.
Treating the Whole Person: Each person is a unique, complete and integrated whole.
Effective treatment considers all levels of being (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual).
In doing so, it honors what is unique and characteristic about each person.

The Practice of Homeopathic Medicine
The Homeopathic Community and Profession
The practice of homeopathy is diverse. While many
practitioners are medically licensed, many are nonlicensed. Quality varies greatly from those who take a
weekend course and hang up a shingle, to those who
have seriously studied homeopathy for many years
and are certified in their practice.
Arizona State Licensure
Licensure to practice homeopathy in Arizona varies
depending on the individual’s background. For
Doctor’s of Homeopathy (DH), MD’s
(medical doctors) and DO’s (osteopathic doctors), licensure to practice in Arizona is through the
Arizona Homeopathic Medical Board. Those individuals applying for a Doctor of Homeopathy
(DH) are required to graduate from an accredited homeopathic college and pass a homeopathic
licensing exam.
Completion of AMCH’s certificate program(for MD’s and DO’s) provides sufficient hours to sit for
the licensing exam. Homeopathy lies within the scope of practice of the Arizona State Veterinary
Medical Examining Board. Homeopathy also lies within the scope of practice of the naturopathic
license, and the nurse practitioner license in Arizona.
For DVM’s, licensure to practice in Arizona is through the Arizona State Veterinary Medical
Examining Board.
Homeopathic Medical Assistants
A Homeopathic Medical Assistant practices homeopathy under the auspices of a licensed
homeopathic physician (MD or DO) and a Homeopathic Veterinary Assistant practices under the
auspices of a licensed veterinary physician. Successful completion of AMCH’s certificate program
provides sufficient hours to become registered as a Homeopathic Medical Assistant in Arizona.
There is no Arizona registration for Homeopathic Veterinary Technicians.
Licensing Board Exemption-Freedom Legislation
Arizona recently passed a new law (SB1236, SB1382; ARS: 32-2911). This law provides an
exemption to the practice of classical homeopathy for classical homeopathic practitioners in the
State of Arizona if they meet the following criteria:
• Provide Treatment of the “Spiritual” Vital Force
• Use Classical Hahnemannian Principles in Treatment
• Use Diluted Homeopathic Medicines (potency 6X or greater) Prepared
Using HPUS Guidelines
Homeopathic practitioners practicing under this exemption may title themselves “homeopath” or
“homeopathic practitioner”.
10
National Licensure
Licensure to practice homeopathy is complex
and varies depending on the individual’s
background and location. The states of
Connecticut and Nevada are the only other
states in the US that license homeopathic
medical doctors and homeopathic medical
assistants. Since 2006, there has been a
movement to introduce homeopathic
licensure into other states. Thirteen states
license naturopathic physicians and
homeopathy is included within their scope of
practice. All 50 states license DVM’s, where
homeopathy is included within the scope of
practice. Forty five states have regulations
concerning the practice of Veterinary
Technicians including Arizona (Delaware,
Hawaii, New Hampshire, Utah and Wyoming
are the only states that currently do not).
Several states include homeopathy within the
scope of practice for chiropractic physicians
and acupuncturists. Since 2000, California,
Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Rhode Island have adopted legislation
conferring freedom to practice for anyone
who gives full disclosure of their training and
background. There is currently an effort to
adopt this legislation in other states, as well as
to adopt homeopathic licensure in other
states.
National Certification
AMCH encourages all students upon
graduation to become certified in their
practice. The Homeopathic Practitioner
Certificate Program provides sufficient hours
of training to become certified by any of the
national homeopathic certification boards.
National certification may be obtained
through the Council for Homeopathic
Certification (866-242-3399 toll free) (for both
non-licensed and licensed health
professionals), American Board for
Homeopathic Therapeutics (434-295-0362)
(for MD’s and DO’s only), Academy of
Veterinary Homeopathy (866-652-1590) (for
DVM’s only) or the Homeopathic Academy
of Naturopathic Physicians (503-761-3298)
(for ND’s only). Completion of the certificate
program provides sufficient hours (classroom
and clinical) to sit for any of the national
homeopathic certification exams.
Malpractice Insurance
Malpractice insurance is available for AMCH
graduates of the Homeopathic Practitioner
Certificate Program. Contact the office of
Student Services for further details.
Practice After Graduation
The majority of AMCH graduates go on to
practice homeopathic medicine in private
practice. Nearly all practice as self-employed
homeopathic practitioners. There are also
occasional job opportunities in homeopathic
research, homeopathic pharmacy,
homeopathic teaching and within the
homeopathic industry.

13
Academic Themes of AMCH
Community
The ACMH “community” is comprised of
AMCH students, faculty and administration
who work together toward a common mission
and vision. The AMCH community also
encompasses the professional homeopathic
community, the natural community, and the
local, state, national and international
communities. The sense of community within
AMCH and between AMCH and these other
groups is dynamic, growth producing, and
always evolving toward professional
advancement and excellence.
Humanism
Humanism at AMCH is evidenced by the
relationship established between doctors and
their patients (colleagues, communities,
environment, and the world) that is respectful
and compassionate. These relationships are
characterized by attitudes and behaviors that
demonstrate sensitivity to the values,
autonomy, cultural and ethnic backgrounds of
others. The humanistic homeopathic doctor
provides care that:







Has integrity - congruent between
expressed values and behavior.
Demonstrates excellence - clinical
expertise.
Is compassionate- there is awareness and
acknowledgement of the suffering of
another and the desire to relieve it.
Is altruistic – can put the needs and
interests of another before their own.
Has respect – has regard for the
autonomy and values of another person.
Is empathetic – can put themselves in
another's situation, e.g., physician as
patient.
Offers service - shares of one's talent,
time and resources with those in need;
giving beyond what is required.
Humanistic doctors take responsibility for
their own lives and relish the adventure of
being part of new discoveries; they seek new
knowledge; and, they explore new options.
Rather than finding solace in prefabricated
answers to the great questions of life,
Humanists enjoy the open-endedness of the
quest and the freedom of discovery that this
entails.
Leadership
AMCH is committed to developing future
leaders in healthcare. Leadership in this
context is defined as promoting new
directions by example and/or advocating by
showing a better way. These leaders are not
interested in power and control. They are
focused on building community, exhibiting
humanism and creating the space for
autonomy for themselves and others. “Green
medicine” leaders, for example, are activists
and thought leaders; they work diligently to
forge the growth of green and sustainable
forms of healthcare.
Research
Research at AMCH is the search for
knowledge; a systematic investigation,
conducted with an open mind, to establish
novel facts, usually using a scientific method.
The primary purpose for applied research is
discovering, interpreting, and developing the
methods and systems needed for the
advancement of human knowledge in a wide
variety of scientific matters.
To augment scientific and applied research at
AMCH, artistic research, or 'practice-based
research', is when creative works are
considered both the research and the object
of research itself. It is a body of thought
which offers an alternative to purely scientific
methods in its search for knowledge and
truth. One of the characteristics is that it
accepts subjectivity as opposed to the classical
scientific methods.
Sustainability
AMCH is dedicated to training its students to
14
create a more sustainable and green practice
because Homeopathy is one of the most
green and sustainable forms of medicine
available on this planet. There are numerous
reasons to pursue sustainability within health
care, including: responsibility toward the
environment for both nature and its
inhabitants, ethical duty for the welfare of
future generations, just and equitable
allocation of resources, financial benefits of
avoiding increasing costs, improved public
health and health care delivery, and a spiritual
call to stewardship.
Green or Sustainable Medicine recognizes the
link between the environment, medicine and
human health and seeks to provide better
health care while protecting limited
environmental and medical resources. It
stimulates the body's own resources and
extraordinary abilities to repair and rebuild
itself, and it helps reverse even serious illness,
using natural medicines to promote healing
(personal green). It means living a clean life at
home, avoiding exposures, as much as
possible, to toxic synthetic chemicals (local
green). It also means working to keep the
larger world cleaner and greener, as it was
originally meant to be (global green).
Successful Practice
AMCH is committed to its graduates’ success
in their practices. This includes their
pursuance of national certification, licensure
and continuous lifelong learning. Achieving a
successful practice means that students
acquire knowledge and skills in business
development, marketing, humanism, research,
professional networking, collaboration and
partnership development all of which they are
able to apply to their professional life after
graduation. Over time, being successful
means building a well respected practice
which reflects humanist relationships with
patients, other professionals and the
community; is supported by current
evidence/research; promotes green medicine;
is linked with the community, and supports
the advancement of the homeopathic
profession.

AMCH Administration
Accreditation/Licensure &
Affiliations
Licensure
The Arizona State Board of Private Postsecondary Education granted a vocational
license to the College in 2000 for its certificate
and distance learning programs. The Doctor
of Homeopathy Program was granted
conditional licensure in 2008 and provisional
licensure from 2009 to 2012. This program is
not currently offered at AMCH. For
information regarding the requirements for
Arizona state licensure and the practice of
homeopathic medicine in Arizona, contact the
Arizona Homeopathic Board of Medical
Examiners, 1400 W. Washington, Room 230,
Phoenix AZ 85007; 602-542-3095.
Accreditation
AMCH was granted institutional accreditation
through the Accreditation Commission for
Homeopathic Education in North America,
the accrediting agency for homeopathic
programs in the United States (not an
accrediting agency recognized by the US
Department of Education). The AMCH
Homeopathic Practitioner Program is
accredited by ACHENA. Students enrolled in
AMCH programs are not eligible to
participate in the Federal grant and loan

602-542-3095.
Types of Accreditation
There are two types of accreditation. They
are:
Institutional accreditation
Specialized, professional, or
programmatic accreditation
These two major kinds of accreditation are
used for quality review, assessment, and
assurance of institutions all over the world.
Institutional accreditation affirms that the
college or university operates with a high level
of quality in all its aspects. This type of
accreditation is comprehensive and indicates
that the institution has achieved quality
standards in areas such as faculty,
administration, curriculum, student services,
and overall financial well-being.
Specialized, professional, or programmatic
accreditation is a type of accreditation status
that is designated for specialized departments,
programs, schools, or colleges within a college
or university that have already been awarded
institutional accreditation. Specialized,
professional, or programmatic accreditation
focuses on particular aspects of the
department, program, school, or college's
specified academic field of study.
Relationship Between Accreditation,

Location of AMCH
AMCH is located in Phoenix Arizona.
Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the United
States and a haven for those seeking
community, culture and an environment filled
with natural beauty. Arizona is one of the
national leaders in the practice and teaching of
alternative medicine.
Phoenix is 1200 feet in elevation and located
in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. Phoenix
was incorporated in 1881, 31 years before
Arizona became the 48th state of the Union.
The name “Phoenix” came from a prediction
by one of the town’s founders that a great city
would rise from the ashes of the ancient
Hohokam Indian Settlement. The Hohokam
Indians had lived in the area from around 300
BC until the 1400’s developing an advanced
civilization and practicing natural medicine.
Phoenix has been ranked as one of the top
five cities to move to, in the nation. Many
who move to Phoenix do so for the climate
(more than 300 sun-filled days per year).
Prospective students are invited to visit the
college to sit in on a class, or make an
appointment to speak with our enrollment
staff (Monday –Friday 8AM-5PM). You can
also take a virtual tour of our programs on
our website at www.AMCofH.org About_Us.
The campus is conveniently located near a
Phoenix Light Rail stop (Station #2) and is 30
minutes from the airport by public
transportation.

enroll at a later date, the student is subject to
all fees upon second application.
Re-enrollment
Transfer Credit for Homeopathic Courses
There are three pathways to receive transfer
credit for homeopathic courses. The broadest
and most effective method is through national
homeopathic certification (see below). The
second method is through course equivalency.
Applicants who apply for this method must
submit a course catalog with course
descriptions for all courses to be considered
for transfer as part of the transfer credit
application. The third method is through
challenge examination. Only certain courses
can be challenged through an examination
process. See the Student Handbook for a
listing of courses that can be challenged by
examination.
Students denied admission may re-apply by
submitting a new application the following
year.
Academic Transfer: AMCH
Transfer of Credit Policy
Academic Transfer
Applicants who wish to transfer from another
homeopathic program must meet all
admissions requirements. In addition, there
must be a letter of recommendation and
official transcripts from the Registrar from the
school from which they are transferring,
indicating good academic standing. This letter
must be mailed directly to the Office of
Admissions. Applications for transfer credit
are available in the Registrar’s Office. Only
transfer coursework completed prior to
matriculation at AMCH may be applied
toward transfer credit with the exception of
approved coursework taken while dual
enrolled at Phoenix Institute of Herbal
Medicine and Acupuncture (PIHMA) (see
Students Attending PIHMA).
Transfer Credit Policy
Any transfer credit accepted must be
determined during the admissions process and
prior to the start of the course in question.
Transfer credit is determined on an individual
basis, and depends on homeopathic
certification, academic standing, the type of
program, degree, equivalency of hours and
courses completed. Course work older than
ten years may require a challenge examination
with payment of appropriate fees. Only
graduate-level coursework (masters or
doctorate) is considered for transfer credit. A
grade of “Satisfactory” is awarded for all
transfer credit. Determination of advanced
standing status prior to acceptance does not
Applicants who are nationally certified in
homeopathic medicine through the Council
for Homeopathic Certification, American
Board of Homeotherapeutics or
Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic
Physicians may receive advanced standing for
some of the homeopathic curriculum. Please
see the AMCH Student Handbook for further
details and a listing of homeopathic courses
for which nationally certified students can
receive advanced standing.
Evaluation of Credit
AMCH accepts transfer credits toward
completion of its degree programs through
evaluation of original transcripts. Courses
must be successfully completed and taken at
accredited academic institutions prior to
admission to AMCH. An academic
institution under consideration must have
been accredited by an agency recognized by
the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) or
have been a candidate for accreditation (this
does not apply to homeopathic programs).
AMCH reserves the right to require challenge
examinations in the judgment of all transfer
32
credits. Courses used to satisfy admissions
requirements cannot be used for transfer of
credit. Coursework transferred will not be
included in GPA calculation.
Transfer Credit Documentation
For evaluation of transfer credit, applicants
must provide official transcripts and
college/school catalogs containing course
descriptions. Some applicants may also be
asked to provide course syllabi. Transcripts
from foreign countries must be translated into
English and evaluated by an approved
credentials evaluation service.
Evaluation Process
The Registrar determines transfer of credit. A
course under consideration is evaluated for
equivalency to the comparable AMCH course.
Factors considered in determining equivalency
are as follows:
a. Equivalency of core subject matter.
b. Equivalency of course hours. Transfer
credit for courses that contained 90% or more
of the course hours of instruction required for
the comparable AMCH course may be
transferred without additional testing or
tutoring. If the course hours were 60% to
89% of the course-hour requirement, the
student requesting transfer credit must meet
with the Academic Dean to determine
whether the student must (1) pass a challenge
exam in the subject (see policy below on
Challenging Courses by Examination) or (2)
participate in a tutorial class or required
review to make up the identified deficiency.
(At such a meeting, the student may be
required to present detailed course
descriptions and/or syllabi). Courses, for
which less than 60% of the AMCH coursehour requirement has been completed, must
be taken for credit at AMCH.
c. Courses under consideration for transfer of
credit must have been completed with a
minimum grade of "C+" (2.5) or "Pass."
d. Courses under consideration for transfer
of credit should have been taken within ten
(10) years prior to the date of the Application,
unless the applicant/student provides
evidence of continuous activity within the
previous two years in the specific field for
which transfer of credit is requested (for
example, a physician requests credit transfer
for a biomedical Western science course taken
more than 10 years prior to his application
date).
e. Audited, continuing education and
vocational courses are not equivalent, and
therefore credit for these courses are not
transferable.
Evaluation of Coursework from NonAccredited Colleges
Students who have completed relevant
coursework at non-accredited institutions may
request to challenge courses at AMCH. See
Challenging Courses by Examination.
Transfer of Clinic Hours
Official transcripts, catalogs and/or other
official documents will be evaluated to
determine whether clinic hours performed at
another facility have met AMCH’s guidelines
for acceptance.
Transfer Credit Fees
There is a $200 advanced standing transcript
evaluation fee. In addition, there is a $20 per
course fee (CHC Certificate Holders, Alumni
of CHE Accredited Schools, and Doctoral
Medical Degree Holders Who Are Alumni of
USDE Accredited Institutions are exempt
from the per course fee). Transfer credits are
not counted towards the GPA. Forms for
transfer credit are available at the Office of
Admissions.
Transfer from AMCH to Other
Institutions
Transfer of credit from AMCH to other
institutions is at the discretion of the receiving
institution. Credit generally depends on
comparability of curricula and may depend on
comparability of accreditation. Inquiries need
to be directed to the receiving institution to
33
determine the transferability of credits from
AMCH.
International Transfer
All foreign coursework must meet standards
approved by the National Council on the
Evaluation of Foreign Education Credentials.
Foreign transcripts, course descriptions and
syllabi, must be translated and evaluated by an
AMCH approved international transcript
evaluation service. The applicant should
request a subject analysis transcript evaluation,
which must include grades, hours and
equivalencies. The applicant is responsible
for these fees. Reports should be mailed
directly to the Office of Admissions. It is
recommended that foreign medical doctors
take the United States Medical Licensing
Examination (USMLE). Each transcript must
bear the official's signature and the school's
official seal. Photocopies of educational
records and documents are acceptable only if
they bear an original certification of
authenticity from the issuing school or
examination board. The submission of
notarized copies of educational records and
documents and other exceptions to the above
stated foreign academic credentials policy will
be considered when recommended by
recognized organizations such as AACRAO
and NAFSA. AMCH reserves the right to
verify the authenticity of applicants' academic
records with the issuing institutions.
Applicants who are unable to confirm
completion of prior postsecondary education
must apply to the International Education
Research Foundation (http://ierf.org/) or
World Education Services
(http://www.wes.org/) for a statement of
educational equivalency as part of their
application. The student is responsible for
paying for the cost of this service.
Applicants Who’s First Language is Not
English
All students whose first language is not
English must demonstrate adequate English
language proficiency in advance of admission.
English language proficiency must be verified
in one of the following ways:
1. Applicants may sit for either the
International Testing Program or the Special
Center Testing Program of the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A
score of 550 on the paper-based test (PBT),
213 on the computer test, or 79 on the
internet-based test (IBT) is required, with a
score of at least 50 on the Test of Spoken
English. Information on TOEFL and the
TSE is available from the Admissions Office.
Test results must be received prior to issuance
of full admission.
2. Applicants may submit a properly certified
copy of their General Certificate of Education
administered by a British Testing Agency
showing a grade of A, B, or C in the subject
English Language. Recognized equivalent
examinations will also be considered.
3. Applicants may submit academic records
certifying that they have graduated from a
recognized secondary school, college or
university where English is the exclusive
language of instruction and is located in an
English-speaking country.
4. Applicants may demonstrate that they have
lived in and / or worked in the United States
for more than 10 years.
5. Applicants may submit academic records
certifying that they have completed courses,
totaling at least 6 semester hours, equivalent
to both English 101 (English Composition I)
and English 102 (English Composition II)
with earned grades of "C" or better at a
regionally accredited college or university in
the United States.
Residential Requirements
AMCH requires that all students must
complete at least 24 months of study at the
college to be eligible for graduation. This
means that a maximum of 183 quarter credit
hours (out of a total of 367) can be
transferred.
34
Students Attending Phoenix Institute of
Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture
(PIHMA)
Students enrolled in approved coursework at
the Phoenix Institute of Herbal
Medicine and Acupuncture (PIHMA) must
sign an acknowledgement form
in order to drop the equivalent courses from
the AMCH track program. After coursework
is completed at PIHMA, an official transcript
must be received from PIHMA in order for
those courses to be transferred. It is the
student’s responsibility to inform the
Registrar’s Office if the student withdraws
from courses at PIHMA in order to make
necessary changes in the student’s schedule.
Failure to successfully complete PIHMA
courses as scheduled may delay clinical entry
and/or graduation. Graduation from AMCH
is contingent upon completing all equivalent
courses at PIHMA with a grade of C or
better.
Challenging for Transfer or Test Credit
Students may ask in writing to take a challenge
examination in order to receive credit
(transfer or otherwise) for courses that do not
meet equivalency requirements. Students who
have received informal education and training
at sources from which there is no transcript to
evaluate, or whose credit policies are different
from AMCH, may challenge courses if the
subject of the course material is comparable
to courses at AMCH. Students can only
challenge for credit within the first two weeks
of beginning a course.
All students taking challenge examinations are
required to:
1. Submit a written notification to the
Registrar.
2. Provide written documentation such as
certified letters, course materials, certificates,
et cetera of the informal education and
training, which may include career experience
applicable to the course being challenged.
3. Pay a challenge examination fee.
The Registrar will assure that the student is
provided with (1) a course syllabus, and/or (2)
a list of reading materials required in the
course. The Faculty Member and/or the
Registrar will schedule the day and time for
the test to be taken, assign a proctor, and will
make arrangements for the test to be graded.
After the exam has been passed (by 80% or
higher required), the student will receive
credit. The student will receive a
“Satisfactory” on his or her transcript to
indicate the award of transfer credit. If the
student fails the test (a grade of 79% or
lower), he or she must register and pay for the
course and successfully complete the course
in the classroom setting. The challenge fee is
non-refundable. If the student changes his or
her mind and decides to not take the test after
it has been prepared, the student will not be
refunded the challenge fee, and must
additionally register and pay full tuition for the
course and successfully complete the course
in the classroom setting.

supports homeopathic provings, which are
the method that homeopaths utilize to learn
about remedies. This department does
practice based research designed to better
understand homeopathic practice and the
needs of the homeopathic community. Its
recent national surveys of practitioner and
patient practice are available on its website.
The Department has participated in a series of
research studies through the University of
Arizona, Department of Integrative Medicine.
The most recent of these studies was an NIH
funded research grant to study the efficacy of
homeopathy in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
The Department also serves as research
consultant on many national homeopathic
research projects.
AMCH has conducted proving research in
fifteen homeopathic remedies over the last 15
years. These include: Oxalis acetocella (Wood
Sorrel), Heloderma suspectum (Gila monster),
Urolophus halerii (Round Sting Ray), Carnegeia
gigantea (Saguaro cactus), Cathartes aura (Turkey
Vulture), Aregemone pleicantha (Crested Prickle
Poppy), Turquoise, Alligator mississippiensis
(American Alligator), Geococcyx californianus
(Roadrunner), Salsola tragus (Tumbleweed),
Geochelone sulcata (African Desert Tortoise),
Schistocerca americana (Desert Locust) and Helix
tosta (Roman Snail). It recently published a
compilation of much of its desert research
entitled The Desert World: A Homeopathic
Exploration. Opportunities are available
during the school year for students to take
part in homeopathic research.

Student Financial Responsibilities
1. When students register for
42
courses, they incur charges on their
account at AMCH. Students are
responsible for payment of all
charges on their account by the due date,
even if another party is paying the
account.
2. Students experiencing financial
problems in the payment of any
tuition and fees are responsible for
contacting the Business Office to make
satisfactory arrangements.
3. Students are responsible for keeping
AMCH informed of their current address
and should submit address changes to the
Registrar’s Office.
4. Any assessment or judgment against a
student for damage to AMCH property,
whether arising from a Student Conduct
Code proceeding or a court action, shall
be considered money due AMCH as if it
were tuition. No transcripts or diplomas
will be released to the student until the
amount due the College has been paid.
Payment Policy
All tuition and fees listed above are in U.S.
currency. Students have the option to pay by
cash, credit card or check. According to
federal regulations, financial aid funds must be
applied toward the direct cost of attendance
expenses (tuition and fees) owed to the school
before any refunds can be issues to the
student.
AMCH maintains tuition, fee, and refund
policies that are fair and uniformly
administered. Tuition and fees for each term
are payable in full at the beginning of each
term. A late payment fee of $50 will be
applied automatically to a student’s account
by the business office unless the student has
paid the tuition.
Students unable to pay their entire tuition
must see the business office to make payment
arrangements before the due date. A
promissory note may be written to defer
payment of tuition until the last day of the
term. There is a $2,000 deferral limit per term
(the student must pay the additional $2750 per
term) and a $20 fee assessed for each deferral.
The business office may deny or rescind a
student’s eligibility for a promissory note if a
student (1) misses the required payment due
dates, (2) provides inaccurate or incomplete
information, or (3) has a poor credit history.
In no case is a student permitted to register
for a term until all tuition and fees are paid in
full from previous terms.
Credit for courses will not be given until
tuition and fees have been paid in full. No
transcripts or certificates will be issued to
students with a balance on their accounts.
Students with past due accounts, who pay in
full with a personal check will have transcripts
or diplomas issued to them two weeks after
payment.
Any adjustments or modifications to the
schedule of tuition charges are subject to the
approval of the Chief Financial Officer.
Failure to Pay Tuition and Fees
Failure to pay tuition and fees in accordance
with the student’s chosen financing agreement
can result in administrative withdrawal, no
course credit, account holds, assessment of
late fees, referral to collections and
unfavorable credit reference. Failure to
comply with terms of the chosen financial
option may result in a student being defaulted
to the “Cash” option. Further violation of
these policies will jeopardize eligibility for
deferment and re-entry into AMCH.
Cash Payment Option
Students who have selected the Cash Payment
Option, or have been defaulted to Cash
Payment Option, are required to pay all
tuition and fees in full when they register for
courses. At AMCH, checks, credit cards and
cash are all considered as “cash” for purposes
of this option. Students who have not paid
43
tuition may not be allowed to attend the
course.
Direct Bill Option
Students who request AMCH to bill
employers or another agency directly for the
cost of tuition must submit approved tuition
vouchers or letters of credit to the Accounting
Office prior to registering for courses. A late
fee will be assessed and the student’s account
may be placed on hold if the student’s direct
billing paperwork is not received prior to
registration. Each direct bill program has
specific requirements that the student must
meet. Students must contact their employer to
determine if this option is available to them.
Financial Aid
AMCH has partnered with Mountain
America as our preferred Credit Union
to provide student loans for AMCH students.
Loans up to $25,000 are available. Please
contact the financial aid office for further
details.
The Financial Aid Office can advise students
about sources of financial aid and budgeting
strategies. This office remains an available
resource after the student leaves AMCH.
Alumni may contact this office for
information and confidential counseling on
student debts and loan repayment.
Scholarships
AMCH assists students in obtaining needbased scholarships each year for students who
demonstrate financial need. Please consult
with the Chief Financial Officer for further
details.
Work Study
Certificate Programs
Several work-study positions are available at
AMCH for each certificate program.
Additional work-study positions are
intermittently available and enrolled students
have first priority for filling these positions.
Veteran Tuition Reimbursement
AMCH was granted approval by the Arizona
Department of Veteran’s Services, Office of
Veterans Education, also known as the State
Approving Agency. For more information
please refer to the following website:
http://www.gibill.va.gov/ or the State of
Arizona Department of Veterans' Services

must submit appropriate documentation and
pay their portion of the tuition and fees prior
to registration. A late fee will be assessed and
the student’s account placed on hold if the
student’s military assistance paperwork and
/or payment is not received prior to
registration. This program does not relieve
students of their financial obligation to
AMCH. Students retain full responsibility for
ensuring that all appropriate tuition and fees
are paid in a timely manner.
Withdrawal and Refund Policy
AMCH’s term is quarterly. Refunds of
quarterly tuition are based on percentage of
the term expired. Deposits are applied toward
tuition. Students who wish to withdraw from
the program, must provide formal written
notice to the Registrar’s Office. The effective
withdrawal date for a student shall be when
any of the following occur: (1) the date the
student notifies the college of withdrawal or
the date of withdrawal, whichever is later; (2)
the college terminates the students
enrollment; or (3) the student fails to attend
classes for a 30-day period. For any student
who desires to withdraw from the school
before the end of the quarter, the following
tuition reimbursement applies;
•100% of tuition will be refunded up to the
start of the class minus the
44
$200 deposit, applied toward tuition;
• If 10% or less of the quarter has expired,
90% of the tuition charges will be refunded,
minus the $200 deposit, applied toward
tuition.
• If more than 10% but less than or equal to
20% of the quarter has expired, 80% of the
tuition charges will be refunded, minus the
$200 deposit, applied toward tuition.
• If more than 20% but less than or equal to
30% of the quarter has expired, 70% of the
tuition charges will be refunded, minus the
$200 deposit, applied toward tuition.

40% of the quarter has expired, 60% of the
tuition charges will be refunded, minus the
$200 deposit, applied toward tuition.

expired, there will be no tuition or deposit
reimbursement.
For veterans receiving the veteran tuition
reimbursement, the $200 tuition deposit is
fully refundable.
Advanced Tuition Policy
An advanced tuition account is for students
attending the college who wish to prepay
educational expenses. Partial tuition deposits
are placed into a holding account and are not
applied to courses until the total deposit can
pay the class schedule and all outstanding debt
in full. Advanced tuition can be paid by either
the student or their designee.
Advanced Tuition is designed to allow
students the ability to pay current and future
educational expenses on the student’s tuition
and fee account. Additional payments can be
made into the account by the original payer
after the opening deposit is made.
The account does not accrue interest;
however, the payer may be eligible to receive a
tax break on the portion that is deposited. It is
the responsibility of the payer to determine
any eligibility for tax purposes.
Payments are not affected by any future raise
in tuition. Students pay only the rate of tuition
in their enrollment agreement for the term of
their program. In addition, students are
eligible for full reimbursement of this account,
should they decide to end the program
prematurely, after they have paid all
outstanding tuition and fees.

Academic Policies
Academic Advisors
Certificate Programs
Students meet with the Program Director
periodically to assist in academic and
professional development. Guidance is
available to assist in creating a personal
timetable for students as well as for academic
and professional progress. Students on
academic warning or probation are required to
meet with their academic advisor regularly.
Academic Progress
Students must maintain satisfactory academic
progress toward a certificate in order to
continue in the program. Students must
achieve an Honors, Pass or Minimum Pass
grade in all courses. Students must complete
all coursework and meet graduation
requirements within 4 1/2 years of
matriculation into the Homeopathic
Practitioner Certificate Program, or one year
of matriculation into the Homeopathic
Practitioner Distance Learning Programs.
Good Standing
A student in good standing:
 Has passing grades in all courses
 Has passed appropriate
comprehensive examinations
 Is not on academic probation; and
 Behaves in accordance with high
standards of professional and
academic ethics.
Unless an exception is granted by the program
director, only students in good standing will
be permitted to begin a new academic year.
A student who has lost good standing may
return to good standing after completion of
the required remediation.
School Suspension or Dismissal
If a student has not made satisfactory
academic progress, the Program Director may
impose the following sanctions:
Academic Probation
Students are placed on Academic Probation if
their grade average falls below 70% or if they
engage in unethical behavior (see ethics
policy). Students placed on Academic
Probation must meet with the Program
Director and sign an academic agreement that
stipulates a plan of action to rectify the
Probation and a time frame within which to
do so. Students who fail to complete an
Academic Action Plan will be withdrawn
from any courses they are currently enrolled
in. Students are removed from Academic
Probation once any courses are repeated and
passed, and the terms of the Academic Action
Plan are met.
Academic Dismissal and Suspension
The following are grounds for suspension or
dismissal from the program:
Students who have been on academic
probation for more than six months and
have been unable to raise their grade
average to 70%.
Failure to complete in a timely manner or to
the terms of their Academic Action Plan.
Failure to meet the technical standards of the
program.
Ethical violations (see ethics policy).
The Academic Review Committee will review
the specific academic situation, meet with the
student, and take action. Possible actions
include:
• A revised academic action plan.
• Suspension from AMCH for up to a year.
• Dismissal from AMCH.
Failing of an Academic Year
Failure of three courses in an academic year
constitutes a failure of the year. A student
who fails a course but has not failed a year will
46
be given an opportunity to take a make-up
exam or do other remedial work. Taking a
make-up examination during the academic
year will not alter the point count for
determining chronic marginality. A student
who fails an entire academic year will not be
permitted to rectify the failures by doing
make-up work in the individual courses.
It may be recommended that a student who
fails the year may be dismissed or invited to
repeat the year. Rather, it may be
recommended that a student repeat a year or
be dismissed when it is found that the student
has exhibited a consistent or repeated pattern
of marginal academic performance.
Students who fail a year and are given the
opportunity to repeat the year will do so on
academic probation and be expected to
demonstrate improved performance as
reflected in at least 50% of their grades being
“P” or better. Assuming successful
completion of the repeat year, the student will
remain on probation during the year following
the repeat.
Adding/Dropping Classes
To add or drop a course a student must
submit an add/drop form to the Registrar.
Classes may be added, dropped, or changed to
audit (electives only) during the first two
weeks of the term; as well, sections may be
changed within this time. Courses may be
dropped after the second week of the term
only with instructor's signature. After the end
of week four, a student who withdraws from a
course will receive a grade of “W” recorded
on her/his transcript.
Appeal of Dismissal
A student suspended or dismissed will have
ten days from the date of the academic
dismissal notification to appeal, in writing, to
the President. Such an appeal must include
the basis for the appeal and provide a detailed
plan for successful completion, if the student
is allowed to remain enrolled. The President
will respond with a final decision.
Attendance/Tardiness
AMCH expects regular attendance in all
courses. All students are expected to attend a
minimum of 80% of courses in order to
graduate from the program, unless otherwise
indicated by the faculty. Attendance records
are kept for each program. Students are
expected to be on time for each course.
Faculty may take into account habitual
tardiness when calculating a course or clinic
grade.
Audit
Students may audit a course if they have met
the course prerequisites, registered and paid
the tuition fees. When auditing, students do
not receive a grade, nor do they receive credit.
Courses taken as audit will appear as an “AU”
on the student’s official transcript.
Challenge Examinations
AMCH policy allows an individual to
challenge, by examination, the content of a
required course. The faculty member
responsible for the course being challenged
prepares the exam. This option is available to
students who have appropriate prior
coursework as outlined under the Transfer
Credit Policies section under Admissions and
who are in good academic standing. Challenge
exams may be given when there is a difference
in hours between a transfer course and the
College’s course and/or a question of
equivalency of material covered. To be
considered for a challenge exam, the student
must:
1. Complete transfer credit review during the
admissions process to
identify which courses may be eligible for
challenge.
2. Complete a challenge exam form obtained
from the Registrar.
47
3. Have the challenge exam application
approved by the faculty member and
Department Chair in which the course is
offered.
4. Pay the challenge exam fee.
The challenge exam fee is in addition to the
course tuition.
Class Schedules
Each student receives a class schedule for the
entire program at the time of acceptance.
Course Cancellations
For information on course cancellations see
the student handbook.
Course Evaluations
Certificate Programs
Students complete course evaluations after
each class and semiannually. This information
is used by the administration to improve the
quality of education at AMCH.
Credit Evaluation
AMCH complies with the federal
requirements related to credits. AMCH
assigns quarter hours for its Homeopathic
Practitioner Certificate Program. Its standard
conversion of quarter credits and semester
credits follows:

Dress
Students are expected to dress in an
appropriate and professional manner
whenever on campus or when representing
AMCH in an official capacity off campus
including but not restricted to internships,
field studies and other assignments.
Ethics Policy
AMCH is committed to the development of a
strong sense of ethics in its students. Its
ethics policy can be found in entirety in the
Student Handbook. The following principles
apply:
Students will not cheat on examinations
or homework. This includes
plagiarism of others’ work, or
plagiarizing from the internet or other
sources. They also will not
misrepresent themselves as
homeopathic professionals.
Students will neither destroy nor steal
school property.
Students will be careful to preserve
confidentiality of all case material
presented during the course.
Students will not advertise products or
services at the school without prior
written authorization.
Students will not use alcohol or illegal
drugs on school property.
Students will not discriminate against
other students on the basis of gender,
sexual orientation, race, religion, age
or national origin.
Students will not reproduce or distribute
course material to others outside the
school without written authorization.
Students will not practice homeopathy
without a license, unless it is part of a
clinical rotation under the supervision
of a licensed homeopath, or as
excepted by state law. Any such
unauthorized conduct will be the sole
responsibility of the person
responsible for the act and not of
AMCH or its staff.
Violations of the Ethics Policy
48
Violations of the ethics policy will be dealt
with through either an Academic Probation or
if severe enough, Academic Dismissal. The
school administration reserves the right to
dismiss students who are felt to be unsuitable
to continue at the school. Please see the
student handbook for Student Disciplinary
Procedures.
Grading Policies
AMCH maintains high standards of
scholarship and at the same time recognizes
its responsibility to provide each student the
best opportunity to complete the program
successfully. At the beginning of each course,
the faculty is required to define clearly for the
members of that class the objectives of the
course and the standards and methods by
which student achievement will be measured.
At the end of each course, each student’s
performance is reported to the Registrar,
using the following grading system:
H (HONORS)
Superior Performance:
90-100%
P (PASS)
Satisfactory performance
80-89%
MP (MINIMAL PASS)
Marginal Performance
70-79%
F (FAILURE)
Unsatisfactory Performance
<69%
I (INCOMPLETE)
Course requirements not yet completed
W (WITHDRAWAL)
Student withdrew from course
AU (AUDIT)
Grade of “F”
When a student receives a failing grade in a
required course, she/he must repeat the
course the next time it is offered. The student
is prohibited from continuing in any courses
for which the failed course is a prerequisite.
The student will repeat the course at the
current per-credit rate.
Grade of “I”
It is the responsibility of the student receiving
an “I” grade to complete the course
requirements as specified by the faculty and to
see that the Registrar receives proper
notification of the grade change. A grade of
incomplete that is not converted to a passing
grade within four weeks after grades are
posted will automatically become a grade of
“F.” If the grade of “I” is due to ongoing
illness and cannot be made up within four
weeks, the student will be required to take a
medical leave of absence for the term, and a
grade of “W” be given for the class.
Withdrawal will affect the student’s ability to
continue in certain course sequences in
subsequent terms. A cumulative Grade Point
Average is recorded on the student transcript.
Superior/Pass Fail
Effective Spring Quarter 2012, grades of
Superior/Pass and Fail will be added to the
current policies for grading. This additional
grading scale will be used primarily for clinical
courses where numerical grades are not the
best measure of assessment. The following
provides the numerical grade for each of the
new letter grade categories.
Letter Grade
Superior
Pass
Fail
Numerical Grade
95%
85%
65%
Grade Appeals
If a student believes that a final grade is
unfair, he/she may seek an appeal for a grade
change. The burden of proof is on the
student. Grades are awarded and changed
only by the faculty member or through the
appeals process. The student must first
appeal to the faculty member, presenting
49
evidence of unfair evaluation. This must
occur within the first 30 days after the grade
issuance.
If the faculty member and the student are not
able to mutually resolve the issue, the
Program Director will make the final
determination. No grade changes will be
made after 60 days of grade issuance.

the following grievance procedure. The basic
principle is that concerns should be handled
at the lowest possible level of organizational
structure.
Concerns regarding administrative issues
should be addressed with the School
Administrator. Concerns regarding financial
issues should be addressed with the Office of
Financial Affairs. Concerns regarding
academic issues should be address with the
individual faculty or the Program Director.
Concerns regarding the distance-learning
program should be addressed to the Director
of Distance Learning. Please see the Student
Handbook for further information.
Harassment Policy
AMCH strictly prohibits both sexual
harassment and other harassment by
employees and students. This is defined as
harassment that unlawfully interferes with an
individual’s work or educational performance
or unlawfully creates an intimidating, hostile
or offensive working or learning environment.
Violations of this policy may result in
disciplinary action up to and including
termination for faculty and employees, and in
sanctions including suspension or expulsion
for students. Harassment based on race,
50
color, age, sex, religion, national origin,
citizenship, marital status, physical or mental
disability is a violation of federal and state law.
In addition, AMCH’s policy recognizes sexual
orientation as a protected group.

position.
• Intimate relationships between
staff and students are never
appropriate and will not be tolerated.
The following conduct shall constitute
violation of this policy:
Any person who is a victim of or knows
someone who is the victim of such behavior
should contact the School Administrator.
Upon notice, the School Administrator will
promptly investigate each complaint of
harassment as thoroughly and as
confidentially as possible, and take
appropriate corrective action on all confirmed
violations of this policy. The School
Administrator will put his/her findings in
writing and forward a copy to the President at
the end of the investigation. The findings of
the complaint and the action to be taken will
be reported to the complainant and the
alleged harasser as expeditiously as possible.
Results may be indeterminate. If so, the
matter will be recorded as unresolved and
record of the investigation will be maintained
in a separate file apart from any student file.
If an individual is found to have engaged in
sexual or other harassment, he/she is subject
to disciplinary action for violation of this
policy up to and including suspension and/or
dismissal as is consistent with existing policies
and procedures. This policy explicitly
prohibits retaliation against an individual who
in good faith makes a formal complaint of
sexual or other harassment. AMCH will not
allow any reprisal in any form against any
complaining party or corroborating witness.
By the same token, irresponsible and frivolous
complaints or accusations will not be
tolerated.

submission to or rejection of such
conduct is the implicit or explicit
basis for imposing or granting terms
and conditions of employment or
education at AMCH.

of gender in a manner that
unlawfully creates an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive working,

against a person who has not given
consent or committing any act of

which may be granted to a student on
academic probation, appropriate
documentation is required from the attending
physician. The physician must indicate the
necessity of granting the leave and
subsequently the student’s fitness for
returning to the program. If a student on

for admission. The student will need to satisfy
admission requirements in effect at the time
of reapplication.

sections must be made through the Office of
the Registrar.

for AMCH. No student may register for or
begin classes after the end of the second week
of any term.

system. Any “F” grade in a non-clinical course
must be remediated within four weeks of the
release of the course grade. Any “F” grade in
a clinical course must be remediated within
three months of the release of the course
grade. The criteria and requirements for
remediation is determined by the course
instructor in consultation with the
Departmental Chair. Remediation may include
any or all of the following: Partial reexamination, oral examination, written
assignments, reading articles and textbooks,
additional laboratory exercises, and doing
additional reports. The student is notified of
the remediation requirement by the course
instructor via the Deficient Grade Report
Form.
Students with marginal performance even
with a passing grade, may be required to
perform remedial work to continue. If it is
judged that the student’s performance will
52
jeopardize the treatment of patients, remedial
work my be assigned as warranted.
Students failing non-clinical courses due to
inadequate academic performance or
professional impropriety will receive an “F”
on their transcript. If the “F” is the result of
having failed one or more examinations, the
student will have a single opportunity to
remediate. If the student fulfills the
remediation requirement, the new grade will
be added to the “F” (e.g. “F/P”). A student
who does not fulfill the remediation
requirement is considered to have failed the
course. Failure of remediation will most likely
require that the student repeat the academic
year.
within one year (4 quarters) from the initial
date of receipt of the course. Failure to do so
will result in an “I” grade for incomplete
courses.
Schedule Changes
The Academic Affairs Manager is responsible
for developing the program schedule. Once
the final schedule is printed, the only changes
that will be made to it are due to extraordinary
extenuating circumstances, such as a faculty
change or a classroom conflict. Students are
promptly notified of any schedule changes.
Substance Abuse Policy
Students failing a clinical course due to
inadequate clinical performance or
professional impropriety, will receive an “F”
on their transcript. Students who fail a clinical
course will be required to remediate that
failure before beginning a new clinical course.
The remediation is determined by the course
instructor. If the student fulfills the
remediation requirement, the new grade will
be added to the “F” (e.g. “F/P”). Failure of
remediation will most likely require that the
student repeat the academic year.
