Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19), as the pandemic disease. Social distancing and face-covering have been adopted to prevent the spread of the disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted every aspect of human life, including education too. Aim: This study aims to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Homoeopathy education and provide a possible solution for rising problems. Methodology: The impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the Homoeopathy education system was assessed by keen observations and discussion with students and teachers of Homoeopathy. With the help of information technology experts, the available technology tools were also critically analysed and reviewed to engage them for the solution of the issues concerned with Homoeopathy education. Outcomes: The COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted the patient - centric teaching - learning process in Indoor, Outdoor, and emergency wards. Clinical examinations, Homoeopathic Case taking, analysis and evaluation of patient conditions based on Homoeopathic approach like mental generals, miasms (Psora, Syphilis, Sycosis), constitution, temperament, diathesis are highly affected in COVID 19 pandemic. The use of online meeting tools, Google classroom, virtual case presentations, webinar organizing tools, and online examination conducting tools is the greatest help to fight the issues related to Homoeopathy education. Conclusion: Identification of issues and adoptions of suitable technology, effective handling, and creating the interest of students in technology can help to minimize the negative impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on Homoeopathy education.
