There are over 1,50,000 trained homeopaths in the country. Many of them work in government hospitals and dispensaries. Recruitment for these jobs is conducted by the UPSC and the respective State Public Service Commissions. Opportunities are also available in private nursing homes and polyclinics. Medical colleges, training institutions and medical councils recruit doctors for purposes of teaching and research.
Although there are opportunities in govt. bodies, many homeopaths opt for private practice. If you are hesitant to start off on your own, working with an established homeopath for a while would help you gain the necessary confidence.
