NEW SCHEME

Repertory
OBJECTIVES
1. Make the students competent enough to take cases in different clinical conditions and situations
2. Successful application of knowledge of repertory in day today clinical practice including management of acute diseases
3. Creating awareness about information and communication technology (ICT) in homoeopathy through medical apps and softwares

INSTRUCTIONS:
I (a) Repertorisationis not the end but the means to arrive at the similimum with the help of material medica based on sound knowledge of homoeopathic philosophy;
(b) Homoeopathic materiamedica is an encyclopedia of symptoms. No mind can memorize all the symptoms of all the drugs with their gradations;
(c) The repertory is an index and catalogue of the symptoms of the materiamedica nearly arranged in a practical or clinical form with the relative gradation of drugs, which facilitates quick selection of indicated remedy and it may be difficult to practise homoeopathy without the aid of repertories.
II (a) each repertory has been compiled on distinct philosophical base, which determines the structure;
 (b) In order to explore and derive full advantage of each repertory, it is important to grasp thoroughly its conceptual base and construction and this will help students to learn scope, limitations and adaptability of each repertory.

Third BHMS
A. Theory:

(e) Case taking in different clinical conditions and situations
(f) Reportorial approach in case taking
(g) Standardised case record. Different methods of record keeping
(h) Application of knowledge of repertory in acute diseases
2. Case processing
(a) Analysis and evaluation of symptoms
(b) Miasmatic assessment
(c) Totality of symptoms or conceptual image of the patient
(d) Reportorial totality
(e) Selection of rubrics

(g) Reportorial analysis
3. Repertory: definition; Need; Scope and limitations
