Homeopaths with Pharmacology certificate can practice allopathy- New rule in Maharashtra - Video

Homeopathy practitioners will now be able to practice allopathy in Maharashtra after completing a Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP).

Controversy erupted immediately after the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) issued a notification in this regard, officially permitting homoeopathic doctors to practice allopathic (modern) medicine, only after completing a special 6-month Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP).

This means that homeopathic doctors can now prescribe allopathic medicines, and the CCMP course certificate will be considered a valid qualification for homoeopathic doctors to register themselves as 'Registered Medical Practitioner' (RMP) in the State Medical Register under the Maharashtra Medical Council.

Under the new guidelines, homoeopathic doctors who have completed the CCMP course can now register with the Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) and practice modern medicine. The state government has given permission to the medical council to issue registration certificates to the eligible homeopathic doctors with CCMP cerificate. The MMC will launch an online registration facility starting July 15, 2025, for eligible doctors.
