SYLLABUS FOR B.H.M.S.
(DEGREE) COURSE
As per the Homoeopathy (DEGREE Course) BHMS regulation, 1983, (as amended up to 2019)
ANATOMY
Instructions:
I.
(a) Instructions in anatomy should be so
planed as to present a general working knowledge of the structure of the human
body;
(b)
The amount of detail which a student
is required to memorise should be reduced to the minimum;
(c)
Major emphasis should be laid on functional anatomy of
the living subject rather than on the static structures of the cadaver, and on general anatomical positions and broad relations of the viscera,
muscles, blood-vessels, nerves and lymphatics and study of the cadaver is the
only means to achieve this;
(d)
Students should not be burdened with minutes
anatomical details which have no clinical significance.
II.
Though dissection of the entire body is essential for
the preparation of the student of his clinical studies, the burden of
dissection can be reduced and much saving of time can be effected, if
considerable reduction of the amount of topographical details is made and the
following points are kept in view:-
(1)
Only such details
as have professional or general
educational value for the
medical students.
(2)
The purpose of dissection is to give the student
an understanding of the body in
relation to its function, and the dissection should be designed to achieve this
goal.
(3)
Normal radiological anatomy
may also form part of practical
or clinical training and the structure of the body
should be presented linking functional aspects.
(4)
Dissection should be preceded by a course of lectures on the general structure of the organ or the system under discussion and then its function. In this way
anatomical and physiological knowledge can be presented
to students in an integrated form and the instruction of the whole course of anatomy and physiology and more interesting,
lively and practical or clinical.
(5)
A good part of the theoretical lectures on anatomy can
be transferred to tutorial classes with the demonstrations.
(6)
Students should be able to identify anatomical
specimens and structures displayed in the dissections.
(7)
Lectures or demonstrations on the clinical
and applied anatomy should be arranged in the later part of the course and it should aim at
demonstrating the anatomical basis of physical signs and the value of
anatomical knowledge to the students.
(8)
Seminars and group discussions to be arranged
periodically with a view of presenting these subjects in an integrated manner.
(9)
More stress on demonstrations and tutorials should be
given. Emphasis should be laid down
on the general anatomical positions and broad relations of the viscera,
muscles, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics.
(10)
There should be joint seminars with the departments of
Physiology and Bio- Chemistry which should be organized once a month.
(11)
There should be a close correlation in the teaching of
gross Anatomy, Histology, Embryology and Genetics and the teaching of Anatomy, Physiology including Bio-chemistry shall be integrated.

ORGANON OF MEDICINE WITH HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY
Instructions:
I.
(a) Organon of Medicine
with Homoeopathic Philosophy is a vital subject which builds up the conceptual base of the
physician;
(b)
It illustrates those principles which when applied in
practice enable the physician to achieve results, which he can explain logically and rationally in medical
practice with greater competence;
(c)
Focus of the education and training should be to build
up the conceptual base of Homoeopathic Philosophy for use in medical practice.
II.
Homoeopathy should be taught as a complete system of
medicine with logical rationality of
its holistic, individualistic and dynamistic approach to life, health, disease,
remedy and cure and in order to achieve this, integration in the study of
logic, psychology and the fundamentals of Homoeopathy becomes necessary.
III.
(a) It is imperative to have clear grasp
of inductive and deductive logic, and its application and understanding of the
fundamentals of Homoeopathy;
(b)
Homoeopathic approach in therapeutics is a holistic
approach and it demands a comprehension of patient as a person, disposition,
state of his mind and body, along
with the study of the disease process and its causes;
(c)
Since Homoeopathy lays great emphasis on knowing the
mind, preliminary and basic knowledge of the psychology becomes imperative for
a homoeopathic physician and introduction to psychology will assist the student
in building up his conceptual base in this direction.
IV.
The department of organon of medicine shall
co-ordinate with other departments where students are sent for the pre-clinical
and clinical training and this will not only facilitate integration with other related
departments, but also enhance the confidence of the
students when they will be attending specialty clinics.

HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA
Instructions:
I.
(a) Homoeopathic Materia Medica is differently constructed as compared
to other Materia Medica;
(b)
Homoeopathy considers that study of the action of
drugs on individual parts or systems of the body or on animal or their isolated
organs is only a partial study of life processes under such action and that it
does not lead us to a full appreciation
of the action of the medicinal substance, the drug substance as a whole is lost sight of.
II.
Essential and complete knowledge of the drug action as
a whole can be ascertained only by qualitative drug proving on healthy persons
and this alone can make it possible
to elicit all the symptoms of a drug with reference to the psychosomatic
whole of a person and it is just such
a person as a whole to whom the knowledge of drug action is to be applied.
III.
(a) The Homoeopathic Materia Medica
consists of a schematic management of symptoms produced
by each drug, incorporating no theories for explanations about their interpretation or
inter-relationship;
(b)
Each drug should be studied
synthetically, analytically and comparatively, and this alone would enable a Homoeopathic
student to study each drug individually and as a whole and help him to be a
good prescriber.
IV.
(a) The
most commonly indicated drugs for day to day ailments
should be taken up first so that in the clinical classes
or outdoor duties the students become familiar with their applications and they
should be thoroughly dealt with explaining all comparisons and relationship;
(b)
Student should be conversant with their sphere of
action and family relationships and the rarely used drugs should be taught in
outline, emphasizing only their most salient features and symptoms.
V.
Tutorials must be introduced so that students in small
numbers can be in close touch with teachers and can be helped to study and
understand Materia Medica in relation to its application in the treatment of
the sick.
VI.
(a) While
teaching therapeutics an attempt should be made to recall the Materia Medica so that indications for
drugs in a clinical condition can directly flow out from the proving of the
drugs concerned;
(b)
The student should be encouraged to apply the
resources of the vast Materia Medica
in any sickness and not limit himself to memorise a few drugs for a particular
disease and this Hahnemannian approach will not only help him in understanding
the proper perspective of symptoms as applied and their curative value in sickness but will even lighten his burden as far as formal examinations are concerned;
(c)
Application of Materia Medica should be demonstrated
from case-records in the outdoor and the indoor;
(d)
Lectures on comparative Materia Medica and
therapeutics as well as tutorials should be integrated with lectures on
clinical medicine;
VII.
For the teaching of drugs, the department should keep
herbarium sheets and other specimens for demonstrations to the students and
audio-visual material shall be used for teaching and training purposes.
VIII.
(a) There is a large number of
Homoeopathic medicines used today and much more medicines being experimented
and proved at present and more will be added in future and some very commonly
used Homoeopathic medicines are included in this
curriculum for detail study;
(b)
It is essential that at the end of this course each
student should gain basic and sufficient knowledge of “How to study
Homoeopathic Materia Medica” and to achieve this basic and general topic of
Materia Medica should be taught in details during this curriculum, general
topics should be taught in all the classes;
(c)
The medicines are to be taught under the following
headings, namely:-
(1)
Common name, family,
habitat, parts used, preparation, constituents (of source material).
(2)
Proving data.
(3)
Sphere of action.
(4)
Symptomatology of the medicine emphasizing the characteristic
symptoms (mental, physical generals and particulars including sensations,
modalities and concomitants) and constitution.
(5)
Comparative study of medicines.
(6)
Therapeutic applications (applied
Materia Medica).
