In most of the US, and in New York State, homeopaths comfortably practice homeopathy within certain guidelines. Homeopaths do not call themselves doctors, we do not conduct physical exams, nor do we dispense medicines. Legally we are considered consultants.
Certification is not a requirement of practice, and participation is strictly voluntary. But NYSH strongly encourages all our graduates to become certified I.H.C. Our program, including our Anatomy and Physiology/Pathology and Disease course, meets all the AIHC requirements for homeopathic training.
Can I practice homeopathy in New York State?
Yes.

However, even though NY is a positive environment, at NYSH we support the efforts of the National Health Freedom Coalition and we encourage others to do so. Around the world homeopathy is being challenged, and the NHFC promotes the understanding of the laws in each state that impact one’s right to access alternative and complementary health practitioners and medicines. https://www.
