A brief details of the course of study for the DHMS course. ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY:Study of normal man in pre-clinical period. The purpose of course in Anatomy and Physiology is to teach the Anatomical knowledge and functions, processes and inter-relationship of the different organs and systems of the normal human organisms as a necessary introduction to their disturbances in disease and to equip the student with normal standards of references for use by diagnosing and treating deviation from the normal life. To a Homeopath the human organism is an integrated whole body, life and mind, and though life include all the chemico physical processes, it transcends them. There can be no symptoms of disease without vital force animating the human organism and it is primarily the vital force which is deranged in disease. To provide the understanding of (i) Morphological , Physical and psychological principles which determine and influence the organism of the living body as a function unit. (ii) To co-relate and interpret the structural organization and normal physiology of human body and thus to provide the data on which to anticipate disturbances of functions. (iii) To enable the student to recognize the anatomical , physiological and psychological basis of the clinical signs and symptoms of disorders due to injury, disease and mal development. (iv) To give the student the such knowledge of pre-clinical subjects as will enable him ultimately to employ competently and rationally all the ordinary method of examination and treatment including surgery that may involve such knowledge, and for enabling the student to pick out strange, rare and uncommon symptoms from pathognomonic symptoms for individualization of patients and drugs for the purpose of employing the law of similar in Homeopathic practice.

PATHOLOGY: To give the students to understand the factors involved in development of pathological process and the possible complications which may arise there from. The teaching of pathology and bacteriology is to be done very cautiously and judiciously. Homeopathy regards diseases a purely dynamic disturbance of the vital force expressed as altered sensations and functions which may or may not ultimate in gross tissue changes. The tissue changes are not their fore as essential part of the disease and are not accordingly in homeopathy, the object of treatment by medication. The knowledge of bacteriology is nevertheless necessary for a complete homeopathic physician, but it is for purposes for therapeutics such as for diagnosis, prognosis, prevention of disease and general management. Similarly the knowledge of Pathology is necessary for disease determination, prognosis, for discrimination between symptoms of the patient and symptom of the disease and for adjusting the dose and potency of indicated homeopathic remedy. The purpose of instruction is to enable the students to co-relate subjective symptoms with the objective ones, to interpret clinical symptoms and their inter-relationship of the basis of underlying pathology.

MATERIA MEDICA::Homeopathic Materia Medica is differently constructed as compared to other aterial medicas . Homeopathy considers that study of the action of drugs on individual parts or system of the body or on animals or their isolated organs is only a partial study of life processes under such action and that it does not lead us to a full appreciation of the action of the medicinal agent, the drug agent as a whole is least sight of . Essential and complete knowledge of the drug action as a whole can be supplied only by qualitative synoptive drug experiments on healthy persons and this alone can make it possible to view all the scattered data in relation to the psycho-somatic whole of a person and it is just such a person a whole to whom the knowledge of the drug action is to be applied. Homeopathy Materia Medica consists of systematic arrangement of symptoms produced by each drug, incorporating no theories of explanation about their interpretation or inter-relationship. Each drug is studied synthetically, analytically and comparatively and this alone would enable a homeopathic student to study each drug individually and as a whole and help him to be a good prescriber. Teaching of Homeopathic Materia Medica is based on :1. Nature and scope of homeopathic aterial medica 2. Sources of homeopathic aterial medica 3. Difference ways of studying aterial medica. The drugs are taught under the following heads:- 1. Common name. 2. Natural Order 3. Habitat 4. parts used 5. Preparation 6. Source of drug proving 7. Symptomatogy of Drug emphasizing the characteristic symptoms and modalities. 8. Comparative study of drugs. 9. Complementary, inimical, anti-dotal, and concordant remedies. 10. Therapeutical implications- applied aterial medica 11. Schussler’s Bio chemic system of medicine- Study of 12 tissue remedies. Organon and Principles of Homeopathic Philosophy Dr. Samuel Hahnemann’s Organon of Medicine is the high water mark of Medical Philosophy. It is an original contribution in the field of medicine in a codified form. Study of Organon as well as of the history of homeopathy and its founder’s life story will show that Homeopathy is a product of application of the history of inductive logical method of reasoning to the solution of one of the greatest problem of humanity namely the treatment and cure of the sick. A thorough acquaintance with the fundamental principles of logic, both deductive and inductive, is therefore, essential. The Organon should accordingly be taught in such a manner as to make clear to the student the implication of the logical principles by which Homeopathy was worked out and built up and with which a homeopathic physician has to conduct his daily work with ease and facility in treating every concrete individual case. D.H.M.S. FIRST YEAR AND SECOND YEAR: 1. Introductory lectures: 10 Lectures. What is Homeopathy: According to Hahnemann’s Organon. Homeopathy is not merely a special form of therapeutics but a complete system of medicine with its distinct approach to life, health, disease, remedy and cure. Its holistic, individualistic, dynamistic approach to life, health, diseases, remedy and cure. It’s out and out logical and objective basis are thoroughly scientific in its approach and methods. Homeopathy has its distinct approach to all the pre clinical, clinical and para clinical subjects. Preliminary idea about all the pre clinical and para clinical subjects, their mutual relations and relation with the whole living organism for the purpose of cure and health. Distinctive essential feature of the dynamic pharmacology(proving) and Pharmacy of Homeopathy is the innovation based on Scientific approach, has made Homeopathic medicines safe and effective in curing the individuals of their diseases.

Homeopathy has a distinct approach to disease. It recognizes disease neither by its prominent symptoms nor by those of any organ or part of the body. It treats the patient as a whole and the totality of the symptoms exhibited by him represents his disease. Merely the name of the condition from which he suffers most is thus of no significance to a Homeopathy. The basic principle of homeopathy that it treats the patient and not his disease is to be constantly impressed in the mind of the students and it is only when this approach firmly inducted in them, then they will be true homeopaths. Medicine is essentially a practical science and can be more learnt at the bed side than in a class room. So care will be taken therefore to impart an intensive clinical training to the students during the later part of their studies in the college. -15Practice of Medicine ( in the light basic Medical Sciences) with Homeopathic therapeutics. 1.

Diseases of Geriatric SURGERY Where medicines fails, surgery begins. Affection of external parts requiring mechanical skill properly belongs to surgery but frequently when the injury is so extensive or violent as to evoke dynamic reaction in the organism, dynamic treatment with remedies is necessary. Surgery removes the end product of the disease but pre and post operative treatment is essential to correct the basic dyscrasia and prevent sequels or complications. A large number of conditions being amenable to internal medication in homeopathy. The scope of homeopathy is much wider that of surgery is to the extent limited. But as a supplement to medicine, Surgery has a definite place in homeopathy and should be taught accordingly. A systematic course of instruction on general principle and practice of Surgery comprising lectures on following topics will be included and taught in light of homeopathy:1.General Surgical Procedures. 2.

Obstetric and Gynecology: Introduction: Homeopathy adopts the same attitude towards these subjects as it does towards medicine and surgery but while dealing with the obstetrical and Gynecological cases, a homeopathic physician must be trained in special clinical methods of investigation for diagnosing local conditions and discriminating cases where surgical intervention either as a life saving measure or for removing mechanical obstacles is necessary. The best time to eradicate familial dyscrasias in a women or to purify the foetus of such dyscrasias which it may inherit in during pregnancy and this should be specially stressed.

The repertory is an index or a catalogue of symptoms of Materia Medica neatly arranged in a practical form. This also indicate the relative gradation of drugs and it greatly facilitates quick selection of the indicated remedy. Homeopathic Materia Medica and repertory are thus like a twins. It is possible to obtain the needed correspondence between drugs and disease conditions in a variety of ways and degrees and there are therefore different types of repertories each with its own distinctive advantages in finding the simillimum. Case taking: Difficulties of taking a chronic case: Recording of cases and usefulness of record keeping. Totality of symptoms. Prescribing symptoms. Uncommon, peculiar and characteristics symptoms. General and Particular symptoms. Analysis of cases uncommon and common symptoms- thus eliminating symptoms. Grading and evaluation of symptoms. Importance of Mental symptoms. Concomitant symptoms. 1.
