Acute Homeopathy Course Description
Module One is a complete training in basic, classical homeopathy, for acute conditions that have a sudden onset and resolve quickly. Examples of acute conditions treatable by homeopathy include viral and bacterial infections, injuries, and emotional trauma.
You will learn the 30 most important remedies in acute prescribing for treating acute conditions for friends, family, and patients. You will also learn how to use the repertory and take a thorough acute case, choose a remedy, and a potency. This course must be completed before continuing into clinical training and the advanced program to become a professional homeopath.
Upon completion of this basic acute course, you are invited to join the Homeopathy Compassion Network for free training and support in practice building, outreach, and helping your community during epidemics, disasters, and other emergencies. Homeopathy shines during tough times!
I wanted to say thank you for creating such a wonderful course.
Now that I have had a chance to really look at everything, and to listen to the introductory lecture, I have come to realize that yours is the course I was looking for all along! Thank you for existing and staying true to sound principles. Thank you for giving me the oportunity to learn from your vast experience. Thank you for keeping homeopathic education affordable and flexible!

Our program is entirely online. As one of the first schools to offer a comprehensive distance learning program, it is very thorough and complete. It consists of six audio sessions that take about five hours each to listen to, plus accompanying exercises, reading, study and quizzes. Expectations, assignments, and quizzes are clearly defined. There are quizzes which are emailed to you when you have completed each session to evaluate your knowledge of that session. A file of cases, study material and related journal articles are included with each session.
Besides listening to, and participating in, each of the approximately five-hour audio sessions, an additional fifteen to twenty hours of home study per session is also necessary to qualify for a certificate and get the most out of the course. For most people, we recommend completing one session per month, making this a six-month course.
However, it can be done in any time frame within one year that is comfortable for the student. After one year, extensions may be applied for and may be subject to an additional fee.
You will receive the course materials electronically (workbooks as pdf files, along with mp3 audio files for the actual classes) or you can opt for a hard copy of the workbooks for an additional fee of $225 which includes shipping within the US.
The following five topics are covered in each session:
I've used homeopathy for many years and fumbled my way to success, but I could NEVER solve my headache cases. When I enrolled in Caduceus and received my books, the first thing I did was peruse the head; pain section of Kent's Repertory. All I could think was, "Wow! No wonder I can't cure headaches!" After being educated, it is so much easier. My headaches are history. Thank you so much, Willa!

Unsolicited Praise from a New Graduate
“Thank you for a great education – you are a wonderful teacher who really knows her stuff and I have enjoyed every minute of my education with you guys (great voice on tape – a true listening pleasure). I will have pride listing the Caduceus school as my place of education on my business brochures.”

Unsolicited Praise from a New Student
“I just wanted to tell you how much I love your program. I have been reading on my own for awhile on homeopathy and have the basics, but am learning so much from your course that I just didn’t know. I started listening to the MP3 and it is really neat. I like the fact that the course works like a classroom. Most distance programs are simply read the book and answer the questions, but this is just like being in the class only for those of us who can’t make it.”
