Understanding AI and Large Language Models in Homeopathic Care
What is artificial intelligence (AI) and how might it help (or not) with the practice of homeopathic medicine? This session introduces the basic concepts behind AI, with a focus on large language models (LLMs) and how they work in plain terms. Participants will gain a clear, practical understanding of what these tools can and cannot do, without requiring any technical background.
The session will explore how AI might support day-to-day work in a homeopathic setting. This includes administrative tasks such as drafting patient communications, summarizing notes, organizing records, and managing scheduling workflows. It will also cover how AI can assist with knowledge gathering and idea generation, such as synthesizing information from large bodies of text, generating potential case-taking questions, and helping practitioners think through remedy considerations.
The session will also address key limitations and risks. Topics include patient privacy and data security, the possibility of inaccurate or misleading outputs, and approaches for evaluating the quality of AI-generated content. The aim is to provide a balanced and practical perspective so participants can make informed decisions about if and how to use these tools in their work.
Lauren Dahlin is a data scientist and AI engineer specializing in applications of artificial intelligence in the health and education sectors. She is ABD from a PhD in Information Systems at the University of Maryland.

Learn About the Homeopathic Nurses Association
The Homeopathic Nurses Association (HNA) is a professional support organization for nurses all around the world who are interested in or use homeopathy with their family and friends, or are homeopathic practitioners.
HNA is great place to join with other nurses to learn and apply the principles of homeopathy to your practice or for self-care.
Nurses are a driving force in the advancement of health care, including integrating complementary modalities for the benefit of our clients. Homeopathy, like nursing, is an art and a science. Joining nursing and homeopathy allows nurses to bring something special to their clients, family and friends. Because nurses have already learned to provide "holistic care," they make excellent homeopathic practitioners.
Founded in 1984, HNA is working to bring homeopathy into the mainstream of nursing care. We reach out to those in the nursing profession in order to share the benefits of homeopathic health care and the rewards of homeopathic practice.

Homeopathic Nursing: A Holistic Gem
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a medical system based on the “law of similars" (like cures like.) This gentle and effective holistic healing system,was founded over 200 years ago by German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. According to The World Health Organization, homeopathy is the second largest kind of alternative medicine used today.
The term Homoeopathy means "similar suffering". It uses similars to cure similars. This is an ancient idea used by Hippocrates, but Dr. Hahnemann expanded this idea into a complete system of medicine in use world-wide.
This medicine recognizes that each person expresses illness or imbalance through symptoms: mental, emotional and physical. These symptoms are used in totality to choose a homeopathic preparation of a substance which has been found to evoke those same symptoms in a healthy person. These non-suppressive, non-toxic ”remedies" can be used for acute and chronic problems of all kinds. Homeopathy is a safe and effective, federally recognized, and backed by research studies, cases, and clinical trials.
Pandemic Statement
Homeopathy has an enduring record for reducing morbidity and mortality around the globe, during epidemics, for over 200 years. As health care educators we have a responsibility to refer people in our communities to an appropriate professional for treatment of viral symptoms. HNA also encourages individuals to follow the guidelines of healthcare officials for avoiding and containing pandemic illness.
