Fundamentals of Case Taking and Repertory

In this comprehensive six-part module, experienced faculty explore the essential principles of Homoeopathic Case Taking and Repertory, equipping students with a structured understanding of repertory concepts, case analysis, and repertorisation techniques. The series bridges theoretical foundations with practical clinical application, helping learners develop systematic approaches to case processing, remedy selection, and examination preparation.

The sessions cover examination-oriented study strategies, the advantages and limitations of repertories, classification and types of repertories, methods and techniques of repertorisation, Boenninghausen's Concordance, and a comparative understanding of Kent's Repertory and Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book (BTPB). Together, these topics strengthen students' conceptual clarity while enhancing their ability to confidently approach university examinations and clinical case analysis. These subjects align with the BHMS curriculum, which emphasizes case taking, repertorial totality, rubric selection, and the practical use of repertories in finding the similimum.
