The challenge in writing a testimonial is determining how to capture the true essence of time and experience in written words.  I can explain the immense amount of educational knowledge I have gained ... that after my extensive education at CCHM, I feel versed in homeopathic philosophy and confident in my ever-growing base of materia medica knowledge ... that my pathophysiology, nutrition, and physical examination skills have been finely tuned for practice . However, speaking only of my academic knowledge neglects to explain my true connection with CCHM; Raymond Edge and his team of world class instructors and administrators have created a school environment filled with devotion, security, and acceptance; for their continuous inspiration and support, I will be forever grateful.   I feel blessed to have found my path in homeopathic medicine, and I offer much gratitude to my instructors and colleagues at CCHM for fostering and nurturing these passions throughout my educational career.

I couldn't be more pleased with the program offered here at CCHM and I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed every minute of study. You have a fantastic program and I have to say that the professors are excellent - particularly Joe Kellerstein (we are very fortunate to have access to his insight and wisdom), Rebecca Kellerstein (unbelievable how fabulous she is) and of course, Lisa Decandia. Kudos to you for choosing these individuals to enrich our learning experience. I feel fortunate to have been able to be a student at CCHM.

CCHM has given me exposure to the ideas and philosophies of many of today's greatest homeopaths from around the world. Teachers who have studied with homeopaths from Greece, India, England and the U.S.A. and who have practised successfully on their own for more than 5 years have made my learning experience an enjoyable and enriching one. Part of homeopathy's appeal lies in its ability to change our lives for the better in a dramatic way. Hearing accounts from homeopathic practitioners who have seen this first-hand in everyday life has brought the "homeophathic experience" to life for me.

I believe that The Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine provides a balanced approach to teaching homeopathy. While the medical sciences are thoroughly covered in the rigorous program of study, the ART of homeopathy is also emphasized. I am observing myself and my patients with more precision and compassion and have set a strong intention to develop myself personally, qualities that are essential to any healing profession. Each lecturer brought her or his own unique insights into case analysis, which I found helpful, especially in my third year of study with my private patients. I would recommend this course to anyone seriously interested in becoming a homeopathic practitioner.

The Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine provides a stimulating, caring, free-thinking environment for the exploration of the majesty and complexity of homeopathic medicine. The teaching faculty have vast experience, but more than that, both their interest in teaching and their ability to communicate are beyond question.

The school is operated with integrity, thoughtfulness, and dedication. The goal is to produce well-rounded homeopathic practitioners, with a strong emphasis on testing and clinical practice. Students are also exposed to a variety of other relevant subjects, including other modalities in complementary medicine, as well as basic life sciences and nutrition.

I can heartily recommend the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine to all serious candidates contemplating a career in Homeopathic Medicine.

I had been interested in natural healthcare for years and was also looking for a career change, but none of the other options I had explored seemed quite right for me. My decision to study homeopathy at the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine can best be described as a 'calling'; One day I just knew this was what I was to do and I enrolled in the course. When I immersed myself in the philosophy of homeopathy and saw the profound healing possible through this discipline, I understood why I had chosen to study it.

Thank you so much for your acknowledgement with the Aude sapere award. Both the graduation and award certificates are beautiful and calling out for framing, and the cheque's not hard to look at either! I have loved going to your school these past three years - you have created something special.

My decision to attend the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine was without doubt one of the best I have ever made. And it was an easy choice too. I remember reading over all the literature that I received from the various schools and being so taken with CCHM's approach. I believed in the intentions behind the school, the values upon which it was founded, and I knew that it was where I needed to go. I never applied anywhere else.

From my very first interview with Raymond Edge, to the first day of classes, to our final graduation ceremony, I never lost the feeling that I in CCHM had found my "home". Our lecturers provided a powerful blend of wit and wisdom, and I learned more from them in three years than I ever imagined possible. When challenges both at school and at home arose, help was readily available. Never did I face a closed door. CCHM has managed to combine high-quality education with a personal touch - something many attempt but few achieve.

Homeopathy is a life's work, and a journey unto itself. I am both pleased and proud to have begun my journey in homeopathy at CCHM.

I feel profound gratitude to CCHM for providing me with the opportunity to study homeopathy in an environment which was nurturing, supportive and humane.

The course content was carefully thought out and the faculty offered a depth and breadth of expertise which was both intellectually challenging and stimulating.

The Director, Raymond Edge, and Registrar, Shobie Kapoor, were highly responsive and sensitive to student needs, and their fairness, warmth and good humour help to make CCHM so exceptional.

The Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine has provided an excellent learning atmosphere, with both a high level of comfort and a high standard of professionalism.

CCHM has helped to develop and cultivate my knowledge of curative medicines utilizing the principles of nature. I have also come to embrace the concept that homeopathy is a dynamic study in the 'art of science'. I have found the school to be reliable and friendly; as well as showing the ability to adapt quickly to meet the changing needs of students.

There are no adjectives that can suitably describe the connections I have made in the past three years. I can only hope to continue to practice with such esteemed colleagues. I am happy to be graduating from the three-year diploma program, yet I am looking forward to continue my studies in the fellowship program.

I am confident that the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine has sincere goals, and I hope that I can contribute to its growing mission. I would like to thank the faculty and especially the school administration for such a rewarding education.

The Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine has created a challenging and rewarding opportunity to study classical homeopathy. The School provides its students with an excellent foundation in the theory and practice of homeopathy, knowledge of materia medica, clinical experience, and the necessary background science, to begin a practice in Classical Homeopathy. As well as establishing these formal qualifications for effectively practicing classical homeopathy, the School also offers the personal support and guidance through which a lifelong desire to study the art and science of Homeopathy is engendered. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to future homeopathic practitioners.

I think  we all have a good feeling in our hearts about the thoughtful education we have received through our education at CCHM. It is a natural "high" for us all  to have this education under our belts and to continue on with it as a part of our vision for the community. I'm looking forward to graduation because it's a milestone in my life course, and I hope to take some of what I have learned into my community. In any event, my education in Homeopathy is far from over and I expect that all of my classmates will be in touch beyond graduation, pursuing the 4th year program and in our practices.

My experience at the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine has been wonderful from the first day that I spoke with the Registrar of the College, a lovely lady named Andrea. I felt so comfortable talking with her and knew in that moment that this was the place for me. The next step was talking to the Dean, Raymond Edge. I took to Ray right away with his soft spoken nature and gentle unthreatening way.

Before I knew it I was in school and thinking to myself, "I can't do this!" Being the mother of four children and having turned 40 that year, I thought my brain couldn't possibly handle all of this information. Well, I way so wrong because each weekend that I was at school turned out to be easier and that information that I was learning was truly astounding. The professors at the College all have their own unique way of teaching and I have learned so much from them. 

Anyone who is considering going to College to study this incredible "gift of medicine" need go no further than CCHM.

Feeling confident and very greatful.
