  • Reading in assigned texts & online references
  • Online quiz completion
  • Online forum discussion
  • Occasional learning-based assignments


Topics include:

  • An introduction to the medical sciences
  • Historical perspectives on medical science - humoral theory, materia pecans, the healing power of nature, nutrition; the medical systems of Hippocrates, Sydenham, Boerhaave, Brown, Hufeland; the births of homeopathy and of contemporary “conventional” medicine in the context of the age of enlightenment and the scientific revolution
  • Mechanism, reductionism, Cartesian dualism, animism, vitalism, and dynamism in historical & contemporary perspective
  • A complex systems perspective on medicine
  • Realms/levels of study of the organism - anatomy, histology, cellular biology, physiology, biological chemistry, behavior, psychology
  • A review of classical anatomy; its roles in initiation of the health professional, and in informing effective therapeutic means

  • A study of the major organ system, tissues, and physiologic processes in health & disease
  • Understanding contemporary medical investigations - radiology, endoscopy, ECG, laboratory testing - what they can tell us, what their limitations are in clinical practice
  • Mind/body dualism; the effect of dualism on contemporary medicine; Hahnemann's perspective; and a proposed reconciliation
  • The classification and naming of disease; nosological systems past & present; pathological systems of classification; advantages and misadventures in disease naming and classification
  • Infectious disease - germ theory examined historically, in contemporary conventional practice, and in the context of complex systems theory; Hahnemann's perspective and implications for homeopathic practice
  • Zoonoses and the cultural history and origins of infectious disease; implications for the study of emerging disease
  • Immunology
  • Genetics, heredity, and the evolving field of epigenetics
  • Health & disease of the mind; the impact of Cartesian dualism and post-Cartesian solutions

In 1867, Adolph Lippe eliminated the Chair of Pathology at the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, asserting that “Pathology teaches us only such symptoms as must by necessity always be present in a given form of disease, are characteristic of the disease only, but do not include, and of necessity, cannot include the peculiar, extraordinary symptoms of every individual.” - prompting Constantine Hering to resign, and found the Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia. Lippe's views may be true of pathology adopted blindly directly from conventional practice, with full adoption of its attendant philosophies and assumptions. But we are not prevented from claiming a more carefully obtained knowledge of the organism in health and disease from being useful to our profession, unburdened by these limiting perspectives.

Required Resources:

Kapit & Elson, The Anatomy Coloring Book, 4th ed.; isbn-13: 978-0-321-83201-6

Kapit, Macey & Meisami, The Physiology Coloring Book, 2nd ed.; isbn-13: 978-0321832016
(although “coloring book” might imply a primitive level of coverage, these extremely serious and thorough texts are heavily researched, and are widely used in conventional medical curricula).

Additional text and online resources will be identified as the course progresses.

PRAISE FOR Will Taylor

I must say I am completely and totally impressed with the online classes you provide. I wish I had more time!
I especially appreciate “simple” classes that go in depth regarding one specific remedy, such as Helleborus, Aethusa, Rhus tox, etc. I would love more of these! Kim Elia and Dr. Taylor do such a fantastic job of presenting the whole picture of remedies. I would appreciate even one-hour classes on the more common remedies... I have studied these remedies but I consistently get a clearer picture after a session with Kim or Dr. Taylor.

Thank you for making these available!

— Anna B.


Please tell Will Taylor that I thoroughly enjoyed his course and he is a fantastic teacher. He has such an easy going manner, very in depth knowledge, humor and clear teaching that it is pure pleasure to hear him.

— Student


I adore Will's presentation style, have had him several times as a teacher at the school I attended. I appreciate his sense of humour and movie quotes. I will listen to him anytime. If I could afford to take all his online classes, I would.

— Student


I am so delighted to have discovered Dr. Taylor as a teacher. He is among the best I have encountered. His depth of knowledge, understanding of disease, and humility make him a joy to learn with. He presents a high bar with his dedication to excellence, which inspires us to reach farther with our own professional development.

— Student


I wanted to thank you yet again for another wonderful course. You certainly are a talented educator with so much experience, I feel extremely grateful to have the opportunity of learning from you and also for the invention of webinars! Thanks to you and your WHN team, I am now addicted and find it really hard to resist each new series on offer.

— Student


I just wanted to thank you for your wonderfully enlightening and stimulating course on Rheumatic Diseases. I learned so much from the enormous detail you managed to cover each week. I'm sure it takes a tremendous amount of time and energy to research and compile each lecture - but nothing goes unnoticed Will, I'm sure everyone is most grateful to you.

I know I've said this to you before, but I'd really like to tell you again - you are an extremely inspiring educator with a depth of knowledge in so many areas, it's always such a treat to spend whatever time I get to share your insight. And all this with a wonderful sense of humour.

— Student


I love, love, love the Rheumatic Diseases course as well. (Want more of that.) -- Also looking forward to the Cardiovascular Course.

— Sarah D.


Thank you for a wonderful Webinar. This was my first webinar with you, and I really enjoyed it. This has opened up a whole new universe for me to learn homeopathy. Up until now I always avoided webinars. But yours was as good as a live seminar. I am so glad I signed up for it.
I look forward to attending more of your webinars in future.

— Prafulla M.
