What do these letters mean?
Many homeopaths have different initials after their names. These
are usually titles awarded by different homeopathic boards and schools.
Because homeopathic education and certification in the US have not
been standardized yet there are several groups certifying their
members. Any certification, of course, speaks only of the particular
homeopath's ability to satisfy the particular board's minimum competency
requirements and may not reflect the practitioner's true level of
mastery. Here are some of the titles you may find:
DHt (Diplomate of Homeotherapeutics): Given by the American Institute
of Homeopathy to medical doctors passing their exam. The AIH is
the oldest organization of physicians in the US, predating the AMA.
In fact, the AMA was originally founded in response to the threat
perceived by the allopathic (conventional) doctors of the time,
from homeopaths forming a national organization.
DHANP (Diplomate of Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians):
As the name implies, this is a title similar to DHt given by the
naturopathic board.
DNBHE (Diplomate of National Board of Homeopathic Examiners): This
one may sound a bit misleading. It is awarded by a group of chiropractic
homeopathic educators to practitioners passing their exam.
MFHom (Member of the Faculty of Homeopathy): Given by the Faculty
of Homeopathy, the British equivalent of the AIH, to doctors passing
their exam. This title is recognized by medical authorities throughout
European Community and other countries having historical ties to
the United Kingdom. The Faculty runs a fairly intensive educational
program attracting doctors from all over the world.
FFHom (Fellow of the Faculty of Homeopathy): Awarded to doctors
holding the title of MFHom and showing certain extra achievement,
particularly in the area of homeopathic education.
RSHom(NA) (Registered with Society of Homeopaths (North America)):
Given by NASH (North American Society of Homeopaths). NASH used
to accept only non-licensed practitioners as members, but now it
accepts licensed practitioners as well. This title signifies the
practitionerís passing of membership requirements which include
demonstrating proficiency in classical homeopathy. It was originally
modeled after RSHom of Great Britain. In 2002 NASH teemed up with
CHC (see below), and now all new NASH members are required to pass
the CHC exam and therefore hold the title CCH
CCH (Certified in Classical Homeopathy): Given by CHC (Council
for Homeopathic Certification), a fairly new national board trying to unite
all these different groups under a common umbrella. This title certifies
that the practitioner, regardless of their licensure status, passed
a minimum competency exam in classical homeopathy. The interesting
new twist added by this board is a medical portion of the exam required
for all non-medically licensed applicants. This is the first attempt
in modern history of homeopathy in this country to make sure the
practitioner possesses a certain minimum of conventional medical
knowledge in addition to proficiency in homeopathy.
CTHom (Certified Trained Homeopath): This is a first level diploma given by ESSH School of Homeopathy in Flagstaff, AZ, to students demonstrating
a certain degree of mastery in classical homeopathy.
MHom (Master Homeopath): second and highest level diploma from
the ESSH School of Homeopathy.
For the explanation of a title not covered above please consult
the homeopath holding it.
