Primary Care Certification:

In cooperation with the Faculty of Homeopathy and the Academic Faculty of Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital, the ABHt in 1997 has created a Homeopathic Primary Care Certification for the purpose of creating a minimum standard of competency in homeopathy, protecting the public safety by helping to circumscribe the practitioners' practice within their professional competency and facilitating the integration of homeopathy into mainstream medical practice. The ABHt grants Primary Care Certificate status to those licensed physicians, advanced practice nurses, or physician's assistants who meet the primary care homeopathic education/training prerequisites and successfully pass the homeopathic primary certificate examination and who agree to practice within the bounds of their respective medical and homeopathic competence. For more information contact the above ABHt address.

2. Applicants must have a minimum of ninety hours (thirty hours of classroom instruction and an additional sixty hours of homestudy) in a program certified by the Council on Homeopathic Education or approved by the American Board of Homeotherapeutics.
