Enrolling at TSHM

Enrolment Eligibility

“If we could treat the children of three or four generations by profound constitutional homeopathy, our world would be a different place from the standpoint of health, prevalence of crime and human happiness.”

Elizabeth Wright Hubbard, M.D.

Applicants to the professional diploma program in classical homeopathy must have completed their OSSD (Ontario Secondary School Diploma) or equivalent, plus a minimum of two years of study at the college/university level. Applicants who have not achieved these requirements may apply under "Special Student" status.

If you are applying as a special student, please submit an essay describing your intention to apply yourself to consistent study and hard work to the level of a university degree, as well as any personal qualities and contributions that would support your application. Indicate if there are reasons why your academic record does not reflect your true academic ability. Your essay should be typed, double-spaced and a maximum of four pages.

Applicants must have an open and tolerant mind and be interested in people and the world we live in. We prefer applicants to be 21 years of age and over. There is no upper age limit and we accept many mature students.

TSHM encourages a creative and warm learning environment between students, staff and lecturers. Respect, honesty, trust and integrity are required in these interactions to form the basis for professional interactions with patients. We encourage all applicants to start their own inner work (counseling, bodywork, homeopathy, etc.) before applying for the course. For those with a purely intellectual interest in homeopathy, we recommend taking an introductory course with selected readings instead.
