What training do homeopaths require?

Homeopaths are a regulated profession in the province of Ontario.

Homeopathy is practiced by professional homeopaths, and some naturopaths.

They must take a three to four year recognized and accredited training program at a homeopathic college/school. The training they receive includes anatomy, pathology, intense advanced homeopathic studies and clinical experience. 

Accredited schools often give their own designation to their graduates. In addition, homeopaths can receive a designation from a recognized Homeopathic Association after completing all their educational requirements.
