read here: http://www.hpathy.com/interviews/prafulbarvalia.asp
Focus of the course is to build up sound conceptual base in Homeopathic
physician through experiential learning.
Foundation has established holistic multidisciplinary clinical
projects, which give first hand experience to the students to perceive
various dimensions of sickness from multiple perspectives &
participate actively in its holistic homeopathic management.
OBJECTIVES:
Objectives of the course can be broadly divided into following
categories.
Building up sound conceptual matrix with advance knowledge base.
Acquiring skills & fineness required for efficient homeopathic
practice.
Building up humane aspects in Homeopathic physician.
Evolving required competencies in the physician to deal with the
basic demands of homeopathic practice.
Cultivating aptitude for advance learning, homeopathic research,
followship, academics & teaching.
UNITS: (Conceptual)
Clinical Module
Case Anamnesis Module
Materia Medica Module
Orientation to conceptualization.
UNITS: (FUNCTIONAL)
1. Case taking:
Student will get an opportunity to have direct interactions with
the patient. Of course, his case taking will be supervised by senior
faculty members & will be given feedback & insight about
case taking.
Homeopathic case taking demands emotional, educational & spiritual
preparation of the interviewer, finer analysis of case taking brings
out conceptual base of patient as well as physician on which they
are talking. As Hahnemann rightly mentions in aphorism 6 –
Unprejudiced observer can alone perceive the right totality. Systematic
handling of the interview can facilitate physician’s journey
towards discovery of his own prejudices.
Understanding of inadequacies of case taking will highlight physician’s
strength & weaknesses of his specific & general knowledge.
Clinical exposure to Acute & chronic case follow ups.
Candidate will have ample opportunity to see various acute cases
like infective illness, respiratory, gastrointestinal etc. There
will be interactive session to learn approach to acute disease.
2. Clinical module will focus on importance of
clinical diagnosis & homeopathic prescribing. How to evolve
clinical reasoning through:
- Comprehensive evolutionary study of complaints
- Physical examination
- Investigations- Pathological, Radiological, CT scan, MRI etc.
3. Perceiving totality through various approaches:
a) Qualified symptoms-PQRS, key Note prescribing
b) Perceiving characteristic state of disposition aphorism 211.How
to translate it in the language of Materia Medica & Repertory
c) Revising & reflecting on Master’s teachings- Kent,
Bonneinghaussen, Boger, Clarke, Phatak etc.
4. Perceiving Mind-
a) Breaking myths & misconceptions to perceive the essentials
of mind.
b) Abstractions v/s characteristics to perceive the qualified
aspect of the mind.
c) Utilizing scientific instruments to perceive the depth of
mind- systematic study of concept of Psychodynamic, psychosomatic
correlations etc.
d) Dreams- the mirror of the mind. Scientific interpretation
of the dreams.
Objective would be to perceive holistic integrated understanding
of the mind.
5. The Chronic Miasms- Concepts & applications
There will be sound clinico-imuno pathological correlations with
the theory of chronic diseases. Illustrative cases will demonstrate
applications of concepts in practice.
6. Materia Medica
Kent has rightly mentioned that there is no royal road to the
study of materia medica. Effective materia medica – at bedside
can be skillfully evolved by repertory.
Correlating with authentic sources of materia medica commentaries
of our Masters & finally relating it to the critically analyzed
clinical experiences.
This builds up APPLIED MATERIA MEDICA ready to be used in practice
at any moment.
During workshop, through various clinical cases there will be discussion
on differential world of Materia Medica. Attempt will be made to
evolve the portrait with finer shades.
7. Susceptibility & Posology:
We need to utilize one integrated understanding of Miasm, totality
etc. to judge precisely the state of susceptibility. Spandan
has evolved multidimensional model to judge the state of susceptibility
based on appreciation of reactivity, immunity/ morbidity, sensitivity
& vitality.
Each case will be studied to grasp all these aspects of susceptibility
8. Management:
Holistic approach will demand comprehensive Management
of all the factors including its exciting as well as maintaining
causes. For this wherever necessary, Psychotherapy, ancillary measures,
diet & regimen instructions are quite important.
