Course Structure and Venues
The Training is designed as nine, one-week modules with additional written projects. There is mentored self-study and a distant learning option for some of the modules, with additional distance mentoring for participants’ own medical work. The written work includes three essays based on themes of the training. In addition, three written case histories are required, in order to gain International Certification as an Anthroposophic Physician.
Most modules take place at Emerson College, England, situated fifteen miles by road from London’s International Gatwick Airport. Located in an area of natural beauty, with immediate walking access to an organic medicinal herb garden and biodynamic horticulture and farm. This internationally renowned College and research centre also provides on-site residential accommodation for course participants.
In addition, three modules take place in specialist departments within anthroposophical hospitals in Germany and Switzerland and at the Goetheanum. These include Havelhohe Hospital in Berlin and Clinic Arlesheim in Switzerland founded by Dr Ita Wegman. The anthroposophic German hospital has all the specialities associated with General Hospitals and many of the specialist clinicians will be involved in teaching these modules.
The final module is planned to take place at Trigonos, Snowdonia, North Wales. This is close to Penmeanmawr, a druid stone circle where Dr Ita Wegman had conversations with Rudolf Steiner, which were seminal to the development of Anthroposophic Medine and the General Anthroposophical Society.
