-
Documented by transcripts
-
Completed through a CHC Certified Supervisor
-

-
Completed as part of formal training at a school*
-
Documented by transcripts completed through a CHC Certified Supervisor Case Log, Initial Intake and Follow-Ups
-

*Clinical Experience Completed Through Own Practice
If the clinical observation and analysis hours were not met through a homeopathic school program or through supervision by a certified homeopath, or if the total hours in either Part I or Part II have not been fully met, experience from one’s own homeopathic practice may be used to meet the clinical experience requirement.
Verification of Own Practice
If no observation hours have been documented, all 500 hours of clinical experience may be met through verification of one’s own practice. Each 10-Hour Intake or Follow-Up = 2 hours. To earn credit follow the steps below to submit notes for each Intake or Follow-Up:
