In Connecticut the test to become licensed is based on Hahnemann and Kent, it covers philosphy(Organon), repertorizing and materia medica. There are no requirements for hours. The residency is for allopathic hospitals, one needs only to become a general practioner MD.
The ideal mentioned above was used in the United States from 1860-1880's. The emphasis on the homeopathic basics and rotations in a homeopathic hospital was diluted with courses on pathology, microscopy, microbilogy etc.
To a homeopath does it matter if the fever was brought on by S, aureus or a virus or if it came on suddenly or gradually after exposure to cold?
The history of Hahnemann University in Philidelphia PA proves my point. The last course in materia medica was taught in the early 1960's by Oscar Boericke. It was discontinued because he was to old had to retired and then died shortly there after. I wonder if any of the student there (now called Allegeny) now what homeopathy is?
