HVSCH.Syllabus for Year Two

Syllabus for The Hudson Valley School of Classical Homeopathy
Year Two, “The Healer.”
September 2013 – June 2014
s
ince 1995 The Hudson Valley School of Classical Homeopathy has served with
excellence and dedication to upholding the highest standards in Classical
Homeopathy. This year, HVSCH offers an innovative two-year comprehensive
foundation program that offers the classical teachings in philosophy and methodology in
a two-part curriculum. This two-part foundation program is open to everyone who
would like to learn; from the layperson wishing to treat friends and family to the
professional who would like to integrate another paradigm into their practice.
Year one – The Acute Prescriber. This is an intensive one-year comprehensive program in acute
prescribing, designed to invite the student who would like to offer themselves, their friends and
families a healthier alternative to healing. The first year of any homeopathic curriculum is the
most important year, as it is the year the foundation for all else that follows is established. This
year focuses on the classical teachings in philosophy and methodology, as we learn the
fundamentals of prescribing through the acute remedy pictures. By the end of this year, the
student will have met a level of proficiency to prescribe for many acute and traumatic conditions
that will prove valuable under many circumstances occurring in daily life. The innovative way this
program is structured allows the participant the option of one or both years of study. The Acute
Prescriber Program (or one year of prior homeopathic study) is a prerequisite for year two.
Year two – The Healer. Year two continues with a more in-depth program for the student who
would like to understand the nature of health and disease and the wisdom of homeopathy on a
deeper level. This comprehensive program covers the classical teachings in philosophy and
methodology and is designed to give students more refined skills in case-taking and casemanagement by seeing the subtleties and nuances of a deeper dynamic. At the end of year two,
the student will have met a satisfactory level of proficiency for prescribing for certain chronic
conditions, with a deeper understanding of case-management, and will have met the required
classroom hours to be eligible for the certification exam given by the Council for Homeopathic
Certification.
“Seeing” the patient, knowing what needs to be cured and applying the most appropriate
homeopathic remedy is the craft of the homeopath. If we “see” only superficially, we can only
palliate the complaints of the patient at best, and suppress them at worst. When we can see
through the deeper dynamic, we can cure. What is required of us for seeing?
Hahnemann’s dictum to the generations of homeopaths who would follow was to learn
everything we could of human nature, as being a healer requires “special circumspection.” If we
cannot see the importance of this, we will only be able to bring someone to level we are at and
nothing higher. We, as healers must go higher. Through the analogous symptoms of the
patient’s disease, through metaphor, concepts, language and dreams, we learn to decipher what
the patient is trying to tell us, especially what they cannot understand for themselves. We go to

the soul of their suffering. It is there that we begin to understand Spirit, the consequence of
which is awakening to our own evolution. It is this inspiration that begins our journey. We
become the stewards who hold these laws and principles that govern healing, as we witness true
healing through them. We become capable of guiding our patients through the labyrinth of
disease, toward the restoration of their health and vitality. We become a healer.

Tuition: $1,500 per school year.
Where: The Ivy League School on 2342 Route 32 in Cornwall, New York 12518.
When:
We meet one weekend per month on Saturdays and Sundays for ten months,
from September to June, from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, with a one-hour break for lunch and
small breaks during the day. (See the monthly schedule and curriculum listed below).
You are welcome to bring your lunch or go into town, as we are close by many
restaurants.
Accommodations: Should you need sleeping accommodations, there are many motels,
priced from low to high, as Newburgh Airport is not far from us. Before you book,
mapquest the distance between our school and the motel of interest, as it will let you
know how far you are from the school, and closer is cheaper for the taxi you may need
to take.
What you will need for this course: (Your Tool Box).
1. The Organon of the Medical Art, by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, edited by Wenda
Brewster O’Reilly, Ph.D. (Please get the Organon edited by W.B. O’Reilly).
Approx. $25.00 new.
2. Synthesis Repertory, by Dr. Frederick Shroyens. Approx. $200 new.
3. One good Materia Medica:
a. Homeopahic Remedy Guide, by Robin Murphy, ND.
b. Prisma, by Frans Vermuellen. $117.00 new.
c. Concordant Reference (Frans Vermuellen). $125.00 on sale at WHN.
Regularly $156.00 new.
There are many excellent Materia Medica, but I would recommend Murphy’s
for this course because it is a more complete Materia Medica, containing all
of the remedy pictures you will need for this course. I also favor Prisma for
its references on toxicology, folklore, history, uses, etc., but Prisma does not
contain the majority of remedy pictures we will cover.
These three books can be purchased from wholehealthnow.com or from any
of the vendors listed on the resources page of my website,

The Hudson Valley School of Classical Homeopathy continues after year two
with David Kramer and the Master Clinical Course on DVD. David is the
Founder and Director of the Hudson Valley School of Classical Homeopathy
and teaches this advanced course, a unique program of significant lectures
and a clinical setting that follows four patients over the course of two years.
This is invaluable for the serious student and it is not found anywhere else.
