Scientific Evidence and Research

1.• of how to integrate the information learned in Materia Medica I and Materia Medica II study courses into a scientific research context: • of research methods and application thereof in homoeopathy; • of research methodology – quantitative, qualitative, randomised clinical trials, meta-analysis; • of the limitations of research methods in medicine; • of modern scientific evidence, homoeopathic concepts and the law of similars; • of the Arndt-Schulz law, biphasic activity, dose-dependent reverse effect, importance of hormesis, clinical trial results and evidence; • of branches of science – nanoscience, particle physics and genetics, enabling an understanding of the biophysical basis of homoeopathy; • of repeated and new drug trials, importance of randomised clinical trials for critical evaluation of revalidation of Materia Medica; • of the role of research in validating and improving Materia Medica data; • of the methodology of the Materia Medica revision project.

1.• to find and critically evaluate existing literature on research in homoeopathic medicine; • to understand information about advances in modern scientific disciplines such as nanoscience, particle physics and genetics; • to understand information on the latest modern examination, diagnostic and treatment strategies in medicine and other branches of medical science; • to apply research ethics in health research; • communication skills to explain research results; • demonstrates self-motivation, self-confidence and initiative.

1.• ability to apply research methodology in homoeopathic therapeutic work; • ability to apply the knowledge acquired in the Materia Medica I and Materia Medica II study courses in the context of scientific research: • ability to assess the relevance of replicated and new formulation trials and randomised clinical trials for critical revalidation assessment of Materia Medica; • ability to explain the role of research in validating and improving Materia Medica data; • to participate in the revision of the modern Materia Medica scientific project; • ability to carry out trials of homoeopathic preparations; • to work in multidisciplinary teams; • to collaborate with scientists and experts working in the field of life sciences; • to contact experts who do not represent medical disciplines.
