Here is your complete BHMS Final Year study plan, built around your 4 subjects, ~6 months (June 26 - December 20), and 4-6 hours/day.

BHMS Final Year Study Plan

4 Subjects | 6 Months | 4-6 Hours/Day

Overview of Your Time

PhaseDurationFocus
Phase 1 - FoundationJuly 1 - Aug 31First reading of all 4 subjects
Phase 2 - Deep StudySept 1 - Oct 31Detailed study + notes + MCQs
Phase 3 - RevisionNov 1 - Nov 30Full revision + previous papers
Phase 4 - Final PrepDec 1 - Dec 20Mock tests + rapid revision

Daily Schedule (4-6 Hours)

Time SlotDurationActivity
Morning session2 hoursPrimary subject (theory/reading)
Afternoon session1.5 hoursSecond subject
Evening session1 hourMCQ practice / previous papers
Night (30 min)30 minQuick notes review of the day

Phase 1 - Foundation Reading (July - August)

Goal: Cover the entire syllabus once. Do not try to memorize - just understand concepts.

Subject Rotation (Weekly):

  • Week 1-3: Organon of Medicine
  • Week 4-6: Materia Medica (start with Polychrests)
  • Week 7-8: Repertory
  • Week 9-10: Practice of Medicine
  • Weeks 11-14: Second pass - Organon + Materia Medica together (they connect deeply)

Organon of Medicine (Priority Topics)

  1. Aphorisms 1-70 - Definition, concept of disease, vital force
  2. Aphorisms 71-104 - Examination of patient, case taking
  3. Aphorisms 105-145 - Drug proving, Materia Medica
  4. Aphorisms 146-203 - Law of Similars, selection of remedy
  5. Aphorisms 204-285 - Obstacles to cure, diet, regimen
  6. Chronic diseases - Miasm theory (Psora, Sycosis, Syphilis)
  7. 6th edition concepts - LM potency, modified Organon
Tip: Keep a small notebook with Aphorism numbers and their one-line summaries. This is gold during revision.

Materia Medica (Priority Polychrests First)

Start with these 20 remedies deeply before moving to others:
GroupRemedies
Top Tier (must know fully)Sulphur, Calcarea Carb, Lycopodium, Pulsatilla, Natrum Mur, Phosphorus, Arsenicum Album, Nux Vomica, Belladonna, Bryonia
Second TierSepia, Ignatia, Lachesis, Thuja, Silica, Graphites, Rhus Tox, Apis Mel, Aconite, Hepar Sulph
For each remedy, make a one-page notes card covering:
  • Constitution / Miasm
  • Mental generals
  • Physical generals + modalities (worse/better)
  • Key clinical keynotes
  • Differentials (2-3 similar remedies)

Repertory (Kent's / Boericke's / Robin Murphy)

  1. Structure of the repertory - how rubrics are organized
  2. Chapter-wise important rubrics (Mind, Head, Chest, GIT, Fever)
  3. Repertorization methods - Totality, Keynote, Elimination
  4. Case taking to repertorization - practice 2-3 cases per week
  5. Important additions - synthetic repertory differences

Practice of Medicine (Approach)

  • Cover system-wise: CVS, Respiratory, GI, Neurology, Endocrine, Infections
  • For each disease: Definition - Etiology - Pathophysiology - Clinical features - Investigations - Homeopathic management
  • Correlate with Materia Medica - which remedies cover each disease picture

Phase 2 - Deep Study + Notes (September - October)

Goal: Build strong notes, solve MCQs, connect subjects.

Weekly Pattern:

DayFocus
MondayOrganon - 2 aphorisms deep study + commentary
TuesdayMateria Medica - 3-4 remedies detailed
WednesdayRepertory - practice cases + rubric hunting
ThursdayPractice of Medicine - 1 system
FridayConnect day - map MM remedies to PoM diseases
SaturdayPrevious year MCQs + self-assessment
SundayWeak areas + rest (light revision only)

Notes Strategy

  • Organon: Aphorism-wise flashcards (number + key concept)
  • MM: One A4 page per remedy (use columns)
  • Repertory: Rubric bookmarks for commonly tested areas
  • PoM: Tabular notes - diseases vs. keynote remedies

Phase 3 - Full Revision (November)

Goal: Cover everything at least twice. Switch to active recall.

Revision Schedule (November):

  • Week 1: Organon complete revision
  • Week 2: Materia Medica - all polychrests (use your notes cards)
  • Week 3: Repertory + Practice of Medicine
  • Week 4: Cross-subject integration + 5 previous year papers

Active Recall Techniques:

  • Cover your notes and recite aloud
  • Write remedy keynotes from memory, then check
  • Do aphorism number-to-concept matching exercises
  • Attempt at least 2 full mock papers in exam conditions

Phase 4 - Final Sprint (December 1-20)

Goal: Confidence, speed, and retention.
WeekPlan
Dec 1-7One full revision of all 4 subjects (scan-level)
Dec 8-14Previous 5 years papers - solve under timed conditions
Dec 15-18Only short notes + keynotes revision
Dec 19-20Light review, sleep well, no new topics

High-Yield Tips

For Organon:
  • Aphorisms 1, 6, 9, 11, 17, 52, 269 are most frequently asked
  • Kent's Lectures on Organon is a great companion to Hahnemann's text
  • Know the exact wording of key definitions (disease, cure, vital force)
For Materia Medica:
  • Group similar remedies together (e.g., jealousy remedies, chilly vs. warm patients)
  • Use comparisons - examiners love "distinguish Pulsatilla from Sepia"
  • Kent's MM + Boericke's MM together give the best coverage
For Repertory:
  • Practice actual case repertorization - don't just read theory
  • Know the grading system (bold = 3rd grade, italics = 2nd, plain = 1st)
  • Commonly tested chapters: Mind, Generals, Fever, Stool
For Practice of Medicine:
  • Master the 10 most common presentations: fever, hypertension, diabetes, chest pain, breathlessness, jaundice, anemia, headache, joint pain, diarrhea
  • Know which homeopathic remedies are first-line for each

Resources to Use

Tracking Your Progress

At the end of each week, rate yourself on each subject (1-5):
  • 1 = Haven't touched
  • 3 = Read once, partial understanding
  • 5 = Confident, can answer questions
Adjust your next week's focus based on your lowest scores.
You have roughly 175 days until your exam - that is very manageable for 4 subjects if you stay consistent. The biggest risk is uneven effort - do not spend 80% of your time on Materia Medica alone (a common trap). Rotate subjects every week to keep all 4 progressing together.
Want me to break any specific phase or subject into more detail, or build a week-by-week calendar for any phase?

Will I be able to follow this and if I follow this routine will I able to get good marks and remember all the stuff I read

An honest answer first - yes, you absolutely can follow this and do well. But let me be real with you about a few things.

Can You Follow This? Honest Answer.

The plan is designed to be realistic, not perfect. Here's what will actually happen:

What will go well ✓

  • 6 months is genuinely enough time for 4 subjects at 4-6 hours/day
  • The subject rotation prevents burnout from doing one thing all day
  • Phase structure means even if you fall behind, you have buffer time

What will be hard ✗

  • You will miss days. That is normal. The plan accounts for this - you don't need 100% attendance, you need ~70-80% consistency.
  • Materia Medica will feel overwhelming at first. There are 500+ remedies. Accept that you're learning the top 40-50 deeply, not all 500.
  • Week 1-2 feel slow. You'll feel like you're not making progress. Push through - this is universal.

Will You Remember What You Read?

This is the most important question. Reading alone = forgetting 70% within a week. This is called the Forgetting Curve (Ebbinghaus, 1885 - still holds true).

The only things that actually make information stick:

1. Spaced Repetition Don't read a topic once and move on. Review it at these intervals:
  • Read today → Review after 1 day → Review after 3 days → Review after 1 week → Review after 1 month
  • Apps like Anki (free) automate this for you. Make flashcards for Aphorisms, remedy keynotes, and clinical features.
2. Active Recall (not passive re-reading)
  • After reading a section, close the book and write down what you remember
  • Quiz yourself: "What are the 5 generals of Sulphur?" - then check
  • Re-reading feels productive but it's deceptive - your brain recognizes words without actually retaining them
3. Teach it out loud
  • Explain a remedy or aphorism to yourself as if teaching a junior student
  • If you can't explain it simply, you don't know it yet
  • This is uncomfortable at first - that discomfort means your brain is working
4. Connect, don't memorize in isolation
  • Materia Medica is easier when you link remedies to patient types you've seen clinically
  • Organon aphorisms make more sense when you connect them to actual case management
  • Practice of Medicine disease features + MM remedies should be learned together, not separately

Realistic Expectation on Marks

Your Consistency LevelLikely Outcome
80%+ of the plan, active recall methodsStrong pass, likely distinction in 1-2 subjects
60-70% of the plan, some passive readingGood pass
Below 60%, mostly passive re-readingPass, but not the marks you want
The difference between average and good marks in BHMS is not how many hours you put in - it's how actively you engage during those hours.

The 3 Non-Negotiables

If you do nothing else from the plan, do these 3 things:
  1. Never read without writing - even 5 bullet points per topic. Writing forces your brain to process.
  2. Do previous year papers from October onwards - BHMS exams repeat patterns. Past papers are your best predictor.
  3. Sleep 7 hours minimum - Memory consolidation happens during sleep. Cutting sleep to study more is counterproductive after a point.

One Final Honest Note

Most students who fail or underperform in final year don't fail because the plan was bad. They fail because:
  • They kept "preparing to study" instead of studying
  • They avoided their weakest subject until it was too late
  • They re-read notes passively and felt confident without testing themselves
You already have an advantage - you're planning in June for a December exam. Most students panic in October. Use that head start.
You've got this. Start small, start today - even 30 minutes counts as Day 1.

You know what happens with me all the time I make my mind to study i study nicely for 3-4 days and then back to normal not studying wasting time or anything else

This is one of the most common and honest things a student can say. And the good news is - it's not a willpower problem. It's a system problem. Let me explain exactly what's happening and how to fix it.

Why You Study for 3-4 Days Then Stop

This has a name - it's called the "False Start" cycle, and it works like this:
Motivation spike → Study hard for 3-4 days
→ Motivation drops (it always does)
→ Miss one day → Feel guilty
→ Guilt makes starting again harder
→ Avoid studying to avoid the guilt
→ Wait for next motivation spike → Repeat
The problem is you're running on motivation. Motivation is an emotion - it comes and goes like hunger. You wouldn't stop eating for weeks because you "don't feel hungry enough." Studying works the same way.
The fix is to stop relying on motivation and build a system that works even when you don't feel like it.

What Actually Keeps You Going (Practical, Not Preachy)

1. Make the minimum embarrassingly small

Right now your brain sees "study session" as a big heavy task. Instead:
  • Your only rule is: open the book and read 1 page.
  • That's it. Just 1 page.
  • Most of the time you'll read more. But even if you don't, you kept the streak alive.
  • The goal in the first month is NOT learning - it's building the habit of sitting down.

2. Never miss twice - the "2-day rule"

Missing one day is an accident. Missing two days in a row is the start of quitting.
  • Give yourself full permission to miss ONE day guilt-free (rest, sick, bad day - fine)
  • But make a personal rule: never let it become 2 days in a row
  • This single rule stops the spiral before it starts

3. Remove the decision of "what to study"

Every time you sit down and think "okay what should I study today?" - you're burning willpower before you even open a book. That decision fatigue is part of why you avoid starting.
  • Fix: The plan I gave you already decides for you. Monday = Organon. Tuesday = Materia Medica. No thinking required.
  • Lay your book out the night before. Open it before you sit down to "decide."

4. Shrink your sessions, not expand them

When you restart after a break, don't try to "make up" the lost days with 8-hour sessions. That burns you out again in 3-4 days.
  • Restart with 45 minutes only for the first 2 days back
  • Then go to 1.5 hours
  • Then back to your normal 4-5 hours
  • Slow re-entry is faster in the long run than a crash re-start

5. Track visually - the "chain" method

Get a paper calendar or notebook. Every day you study - even just 30 minutes - put a big X on that date.
  • After 5-6 days in a row, you'll see a chain of X marks
  • Your brain genuinely does not want to break the chain
  • Missing a day feels like destroying something you built - which is exactly the psychological pressure you need

The Guilt Trap - This is Important

When you miss days, you probably feel guilty. Then you avoid your books because opening them reminds you of the guilt. So you avoid longer. The guilt grows. The avoidance grows.
How to break it:
When you miss days, say this to yourself literally:
"I missed some days. That's done. Today is Day 1 again."
No guilt, no catching up, no punishment sessions. Just Day 1. Students who recover fast from breaks are not more disciplined - they're just faster at letting go and restarting.

Your Specific Plan Going Forward

Given your pattern, here's a realistic first week:
DayTaskTime
Day 1 (July 1)Open Organon Chapter 1. Read 5 pages. Put X on calendar.30-45 min
Day 2Read 5 more pages Organon. Make 3 bullet point notes.45 min
Day 3Materia Medica - read about Sulphur only.45 min
Day 4Organon review day 1-2 reading (active recall).45 min
Day 5Materia Medica - Calcarea Carb45 min
Day 6Free/rest - no study guilt0
Day 7Light review of the week's reading30 min
Notice the sessions are SHORT deliberately. The point of week 1 is just to prove to yourself you can sit down 6 out of 7 days. That proof changes everything.

One Last Thing

You've done the 3-4 day cycle probably many times. That means you KNOW you can study well when you start. The study ability is there. The only missing piece is the re-start system after you drop off.
The calendar, the 2-day rule, the embarrassingly small minimum, and the visual chain - use all four together. They're each covering a different weak point in the cycle.
You're not lazy. You just haven't had the right system yet.

Fuck I have my exams from 28th of November a circular came just now

Okay, take a breath. This is stressful but it's manageable. Let's look at the numbers first.

What You Actually Have

Today: July 4 → Exam: November 28 That is 147 days — just under 5 months.
You haven't lost much. The original plan was built for 6 months. You're losing about 3 weeks at the end. Here's what that actually means:
  • Phase 1 (Foundation) → July + August → stays the same
  • Phase 2 (Deep Study) → September + October → stays the same
  • Phase 3 (Revision) → November 1-27 → compressed from 4 weeks to 3.5 weeks
  • Phase 4 (Final Sprint) → absorbed into November
The only thing that gets cut is some buffer time at the end. The core plan is intact.

Revised Schedule — Key Changes Only

What changes from the original plan:

October (new priority):
  • Start previous year papers in mid-October instead of waiting — already in the plan ✓
  • Do a full mock test every Saturday from Oct 10 onwards instead of just MCQs
November 1-27 (compressed final phase):
DateFocus
Nov 1-7Organon complete revision + mock test Nov 7
Nov 8-14Materia Medica complete revision + mock test Nov 14
Nov 15-19Repertory + POM revision
Nov 20-21Previous year papers set 2 (pick 2 subjects per day)
Nov 22 SatMixed full mock — all subjects
Nov 23 SunREST
Nov 24 MonSpeed revision — short notes only, all 4 subjects
Nov 25 TueWeak points only — your personal list from Oct assessment
Nov 26 WedRemedy cards + aphorism bookmarks only
Nov 27 ThuLight read of notes. Pack bag. Sleep by 10 PM.
Nov 28 FriEXAM DAY

The One Thing That Must Change Right Now

You now have zero buffer for long breaks or slow restarts. The 3-4 day dropout pattern we talked about — that's the only real threat to your preparation now.
The difference between December exams and November exams is not the knowledge — it's the discipline in the next 4 weeks (July). July is now your most important month. If you build the habit in July, August-November flow naturally. If July slips, you'll be cramming in November.

What Stays the Same

Everything in July, August, September, and October is identical to the original plan. You don't need to panic and change everything. The foundation, deep study, and MCQ phases are all intact.
You have 147 days and 4 subjects. That is still very doable.
Want me to reprint the full updated calendar with November 28 as the exam date?

I haven't opened medicine or psm or organan or repertory book yet just materia medica

Okay, honest situation first — then the fix.

Real Talk

You have 147 days. You've touched 1 out of 4 subjects. That's not ideal but it is completely recoverable. Students have cleared BHMS finals starting from scratch in 4 months. The question is just whether you're willing to be consistent from TODAY — not Monday, not next week. Today.
Here's the thing — Materia Medica is actually the heaviest subject. If you've been reading that, your brain is already in study mode. That's something.

Brutally Honest Priority Order

Given your situation, you can't treat all 4 subjects equally anymore. Here's the real weightage:
PrioritySubjectWhy
🔴 1stOrganonMost scoring, most predictable questions, fastest to cover
🔴 2ndMateria MedicaAlready started — keep momentum
🟡 3rdPractice of MedicineLargest content but very structured — doable in 6-7 weeks
🟡 4thRepertoryConcept-based, not memory-heavy — can be covered in 3-4 weeks

Revised Realistic Plan From July 4

The New Time Split Per Day (4-6 hours)

SessionSubjectHours
Morning (primary)Organon — finish in 3 weeks2 hrs
AfternoonMateria Medica — continue2 hrs
EveningPrevious day's recall + notes30-45 min
Repertory and POM start in August — that's fine. You have time.

July — The Most Important Month

Your only job in July is:

Week 1-3: Organon (July 4-24)

  • Aph 1-50 → Week 1 (July 4-10)
  • Aph 51-145 → Week 2 (July 11-17)
  • Aph 146-285 + Miasms + 6th Ed → Week 3 (July 18-24)
That's the entire Organon in 3 weeks at 2 hours/day. Totally doable.

Week 4: Organon Revision + MM continues (July 25-31)

  • Organon: Full revision, self-quiz on aphorisms
  • MM: Continue polychrests (wherever you currently are)

August — Repertory + POM Blitz

Once Organon is done in July, August becomes:
WeeksFocus
Aug 1-14Finish Materia Medica (Tier 1 + Tier 2 polychrests)
Aug 15-24Repertory — structure, key chapters, 2 practice cases
Aug 25-31Practice of Medicine starts — CVS + Respiratory

September-October — POM + Deep Revision

Full POM coverage in September. October is entirely previous papers + MCQs + targeted weak areas. This is still intact from the original plan.

The Most Important Question Right Now

Where are you in Materia Medica?
Tell me which remedies you've covered so far and I'll tell you exactly where to pick up and how to slot MM into the new schedule alongside Organon.
Also — can you do 2 hours every morning starting tomorrow? Just that one commitment. Everything else follows from that.

You missed one subject preventive and social medicine

You're right, my mistake. So the full picture is:
5 subjects. 0 fully covered. 147 days.
Let me be straight with you — this makes it tighter but still passable. Here's the updated reality.

All 5 Subjects — Honest Assessment

SubjectStatusDifficultyTime Needed
Materia MedicaPartially startedHigh (memory-heavy)6-7 weeks
OrganonNot openedMedium (concept + memory)3 weeks
RepertoryNot openedMedium (concept-based)3-4 weeks
Practice of MedicineNot openedHigh (large content)6-7 weeks
PSMNot openedMedium-High4-5 weeks
Total minimum coverage needed: ~22-27 weeks of content Time available: ~21 weeks
That means you cannot afford slow months. But you can pass — and pass well — if you're honest about one thing: PSM and Repertory are the two subjects where smart studying beats long studying.

Where PSM Fits — Revised Priority

PrioritySubjectReason
1stOrganonFastest to cover, highest return per hour
2ndMateria MedicaAlready started, keep momentum
3rdPSMMore scoring than people think, very structured
4thPractice of MedicineLargest, needs most sustained time
5thRepertoryConcept-based, can be compressed to 3 weeks

PSM — What It Actually Contains (BHMS Final Year)

PSM in BHMS finals typically covers:
  • Concept of health & disease — definitions, determinants, levels of prevention
  • Epidemiology — types of studies, incubation periods, herd immunity
  • Biostatistics — mean, median, mode, types of data, sampling (high MCQ yield)
  • National Health Programs — RNTCP, NVBDCP, RCH, immunization schedule
  • Environmental health — water, air, sanitation standards
  • Nutrition — deficiency diseases, balanced diet, PEM
  • Occupational health — common hazards and diseases
  • Demography — birth/death rates, census, population pyramid
  • Social medicine — community health concepts, primary health care
The good news: PSM is very pattern-based. About 60% of exam marks come from definitions, national programs, and biostatistics. These can be covered in focused 2-week blocks.

The Bottom Line

5 subjects in 147 days at 4-5 hours/day = roughly 3 weeks per subject on average. That's tight but not impossible — especially since:
  1. MM is already partially done
  2. PSM and Repertory are the most compressible
  3. October is entirely for MCQs and papers — no new topics
The plan works IF July is not wasted. You're already 4 days into July. Starting today still gives you 24 solid days this month to finish Organon completely and push MM forward.
What remedies have you covered in MM so far? That'll let me tell you exactly where you stand and how many weeks MM still needs.

I don't want time table by hrs I want it by topics

Nov 28 SatEXAM DAYTrust your preparation. You've put in the work.
That's every single day from today to your exam — by topic, no time slots. Print it, stick it on your wall, cross off each day as you go.
Start today with: Aph 1-9 (Organon) + Sulphur (MM). Both are small topics. One hour each. That's Day 1 done.

I think I should start first with medicine and repertory

I'd push back on that. Here's why.

Why Starting with Medicine + Repertory is a Mistake

Practice of Medicine

  • It's the largest subject — 10+ systems, each with multiple diseases
  • Without Organon as a base, you won't understand why you're selecting remedies in POM
  • It's a subject that rewards revision more than first reading — meaning you need time after finishing it to let it settle
  • Starting it first means you'll finish it exhausted with no energy for the hardest revision

Repertory

  • Repertory is useless without Materia Medica — you repertorize to find a remedy, but if you don't know your remedies you can't confirm or understand the result
  • It's also the most concept-based subject — it actually gets easier once you know MM well
  • Spending time on Repertory now, before MM is solid, is like learning the index of a book before reading the book

Why Organon Should Be First — Even Though You Haven't Opened It

ReasonExplanation
Shortest to coverFull Organon = 3 weeks at 1-2 hrs/day
Most predictable exam questionsSame aphorisms asked every year
Foundation for everything elseMM selection, case taking, potency — all come from Organon
Highest marks per hour spentNo other subject gives you this return

The Right Order — and Why

Organon → MM → Repertory → POM → PSM
   ↓          ↓        ↓          ↓        ↓
 3 wks     4 wks    3 wks     6 wks    4 wks
Each subject feeds the next one:
  • Organon teaches you case taking → helps MM understanding
  • MM teaches you remedy pictures → makes Repertory meaningful
  • Repertory teaches you rubric selection → makes POM case management logical
  • POM + PSM together in the final stretch

If You Still Want to Start Medicine + Repertory

I won't stop you — it's your exam. But if you do, here's what will likely happen:
  • POM will feel disconnected and hard to retain without the Organon framework
  • Repertory without solid MM will feel like memorizing a phone directory
  • You'll finish both feeling shaky and still have Organon + MM untouched

Honest Recommendation

Start Organon + MM together — exactly as the plan says. Organon in the morning (small topic daily), MM in the afternoon (one remedy daily). By August 1 you'll have:
  • Full Organon done ✓
  • 25+ major remedies covered ✓
  • A strong base to attack Repertory and POM with confidence ✓
That foundation makes POM and Repertory 3x faster to study than starting them cold right now.
Your call — but this is the smarter path.

On repertory i only need to study theory for exams not case solving

That changes things significantly — in a good way.

What Repertory Theory Actually Covers (Exam-wise)

If it's theory only, your entire Repertory syllabus is roughly this:

1. History of Repertory

  • Who made which repertory — Hahnemann, Boenninghausen, Kent, Boericke, Robin Murphy
  • Year of publication, number of rubrics, special features of each
  • Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book — characteristics
  • Kent's Repertory — structure, sections, grading system

2. Types of Repertories

  • Complete repertory, card repertory, synoptic key
  • Differences between Kent vs Boenninghausen approach

3. Repertory Structure

  • How Kent's is organized (chapters list)
  • Grading — bold (3rd grade), italics (2nd grade), plain (1st grade)
  • What each grade means clinically

4. Methods of Repertorization (Theory only)

  • Totality of symptoms method
  • Keynote method
  • Elimination method
  • Concomitant method
  • Boenninghausen's method

5. Concept of Rubric

  • Definition of rubric
  • How to find a rubric
  • Subrubrics, cross-references

6. Important Definitions

  • Repertory, rubric, subrubric, concordance
  • Complete symptom — location, sensation, modality, concomitant

How Long This Actually Takes

This is not 3-4 weeks of work. This is honestly:
TopicDays Needed
History of repertories + authors2 days
Types of repertories1 day
Kent's structure + grading2 days
Methods of repertorization (theory)2 days
Rubric concepts + definitions1 day
Revision2 days
Total: 10 days maximum. That's it.

What This Means for Your Plan

Repertory just went from a 3-week subject to a 10-day subject. That frees up almost 2 weeks you can redistribute to POM or PSM.

Revised subject time allocation:

SubjectTime Needed
Organon3 weeks
Materia Medica4-5 weeks
Repertory (theory only)10 days
Practice of Medicine6-7 weeks
PSM4 weeks

When to Fit Repertory In

Since it's only 10 days, the best slot is end of August — after Organon and MM are well underway. You knock it out in 10 straight days and it's done. No case solving, no practice cases needed.
Just definitions, authors, methods, structure — all theory, all memorizable.
This actually makes your schedule much more comfortable. Want me to update the full plan with this change?

I will study psm and medicine online like marrow prepladder videos can you tell me which teacher is best for these 2 subjects

I have to be upfront with you here.
Searching the Web

best teacher PSM preventive social medicine BHMS homeopathy online video lectures 2024 2025

Searching the Web

best teacher practice of medicine BHMS homeopathy online lectures Marrow PrepLadder 2024

Here's the honest answer:

Important Clarification First

Marrow and PrepLadder are primarily for MBBS/NEET-PG students — not BHMS.
The PSM and Medicine content on those platforms is excellent but it's designed for allopathic medical exams. The clinical medicine framework is largely the same, so the concepts transfer fine. But the homeopathic management part — which remedies to use for which disease — won't be covered there at all. You'll need to add that yourself from your BHMS textbooks or notes.

Best Teachers — Honest Recommendations

PSM (Preventive & Social Medicine)

Best on PrepLadder: Dr. Neha Taneja
  • Very clear, structured teaching
  • Covers biostatistics, epidemiology, national programs in a way that actually makes sense
  • High-yield focus — doesn't waste your time on obscure topics
  • Her notes are compact and revision-friendly
On YouTube (free):
  • Search "Dr. Neha Taneja PSM" — several free lectures available
  • Homeopathy360 YouTube channel also has BHMS-specific PSM content

Practice of Medicine

Best on PrepLadder: Dr. Deepak Marwah
  • Extremely high-yield, exam-focused
  • Covers clinical features, investigations, and management very clearly
  • Strong on CVS, Respiratory, GIT — the high-weightage systems for your exam
On Marrow:
  • Medicine faculty is strong but content is NEET-PG oriented — still very useful for understanding disease concepts
For BHMS-specific Medicine (with homeopathic remedies):
  • BHMS Adda (YouTube + website) — has BHMS-specific medicine lectures
  • UGHomoeo / Smarteach — dedicated BHMS platform with medicine lectures by homeopathy faculty

My Practical Suggestion for You

Use a two-source approach for both subjects:
SubjectFor ConceptsFor Homeopathic Management
PSMDr. Neha Taneja (PrepLadder/YouTube)Your BHMS PSM textbook for India-specific programs
Practice of MedicineDr. Deepak Marwah (PrepLadder)Add MM remedies from Boericke/your notes after each disease
Watch the video for the disease concept → immediately write the 2-3 homeopathic remedies for that disease in your notes. That way you're building a combined resource as you go.

One Warning

Don't fall into the "watch all lectures first, then study" trap. That's a very common way to waste 2 months. Watch one topic, close the video, write notes, move on. Treat videos like a teacher explaining — not like revision content to re-watch repeatedly.

I know they are from mbbs students but the concept is same and I want that and Abt homeopathic remedies I will watch the channel you suggested just after i complete one topic is that ok

Yes, that's actually a smart approach. Here's why it works well:

Your Approach — Why It's Good

Concept video (Marrow/PrepLadder) → then Homeopathic remedies (BHMS channel)
This is called layered learning and it's more effective than trying to learn both at the same time from one source.
  • The MBBS video gives you a clean, clear understanding of the disease
  • Then when you watch the homeopathic remedies part, your brain already has a framework to attach the remedies to
  • The remedy sticks better because you understand what it's treating
For example:
  1. Watch Dr. Deepak Marwah on Asthma — understand triggers, types, clinical features, investigations
  2. Then watch BHMS channel — Arsenicum Album, Ipecac, Lobelia for asthma
  3. Your brain connects: "Arsenicum for asthma with anxiety and restlessness, worse 1-3 AM" — and it makes complete sense because you just learned what asthma looks like

One Small Tweak to Make It Even Better

After both videos — close everything and write from memory:
Disease: Asthma
Features: (write 4-5 points)
Investigations: (write 2-3)
Homeopathic remedies: (write 3 with keynote indication)
That 10-minute writing session after the two videos is what moves it from short-term to long-term memory. Without it, you'll feel like you understood but forget 70% within 3 days.

1Watch concept on PrepLadder/Marrow (Dr. Deepak Marwah for Medicine, Dr. Neha Taneja for PSM)
2Watch homeopathic remedies for same topic on BHMS channel
3Write combined notes from memory (disease + remedies)
4Move to next topic
That's a solid system. Stick to it exactly and you'll cover Medicine and PSM faster and more thoroughly than most of your classmates who are just reading textbooks.
Go with it.

One last doubt which book should I refer to study as I will read the topic from the book too

Subject-wise, here are the best books — one primary, one optional backup for each.

All 5 Subjects — Book Recommendations

1. Organon of Medicine

RoleBook
PrimaryOrganon of Medicine by Samuel Hahnemann (6th Edition) — no substitute, you must read the original
CompanionLectures on Organon of Medicine by J.T. Kent — explains Hahnemann's aphorisms in simple language, read alongside
Quick referenceOrganon of Medicine by B.K. Sarkar — has commentary aphorism-by-aphorism, very popular in BHMS exams
B.K. Sarkar is the most widely used in Indian BHMS colleges. If you only buy one Organon book, get that.

2. Materia Medica

RoleBook
PrimaryBoericke's Materia Medica with Repertory — the standard BHMS textbook, covers every remedy clearly
For keynotesPhatak's Materia Medica — very compact, keynote-based, excellent for revision
For deep studyKent's Lectures on Materia Medica — richer remedy pictures, good for polychrests
For your exam: Boericke as primary + Phatak for revision. Kent is optional if you have time.

3. Repertory

RoleBook
Primary (theory)Introduction to Repertory by Glen Irving Bidwell — specifically covers repertory theory, history, methods
BackupThe Principles and Art of Cure by Homeopathy — Herbert Roberts — covers repertory concepts within broader context
For structure referenceKent's Repertory — you need to at least browse the actual book to understand its structure
Since you only need theory, Bidwell is the most targeted book for exactly what your exam asks.

4. Practice of Medicine

RoleBook
Primary (concepts)Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine — the gold standard for clinical medicine concepts, same book your MBBS videos are based on
Primary (homeopathic)Practice of Medicine by H.C. Allen or your college-prescribed BHMS POM textbook
Combined approachRead Davidson for the disease → read your BHMS POM book for homeopathic management
Don't try to read Davidson cover to cover — it's massive. Use it topic by topic alongside your videos. Read only the chapter you just watched.

5. PSM

RoleBook
PrimaryTextbook of Preventive and Social Medicine by J.E. Park (Park's Textbook) — the absolute standard for PSM in India, used by both MBBS and BHMS
Shorter alternativePreventive and Social Medicine by K. Park (Concise) — shorter version, easier to finish
Park's PSM is what Dr. Neha Taneja's lectures are based on. When she says "refer Park's" — this is what she means. Get this book, it's worth it.

One Practical Tip

You don't need to read these books instead of videos — read them after the video on the same topic. The sequence is:
Video → Book (same topic) → Write notes from memory
The book fills in details the video skips. Together they cover the topic from two angles and the retention is much stronger than either alone.

I mean in my college some people read golwala and some davidson for medicine

Good question. Here's the straight answer:

Golwala vs Davidson for BHMS Medicine

Golwala (Practice of Medicine by F.E. Golwala)

  • Written specifically for Indian medical students
  • Much shorter and more concise than Davidson
  • Covers exactly what Indian university exams ask — no extra
  • Language is simpler, easier to read
  • Most BHMS colleges prescribe Golwala as the standard textbook
  • Good for covering the full syllabus without getting overwhelmed

Davidson's

  • Much more detailed — written for MBBS clinical practice
  • Excellent for understanding disease mechanisms deeply
  • What the PrepLadder/Marrow videos are based on
  • But too detailed for BHMS exam purposes — you'll spend 3x more time per topic
  • Easy to get lost in details that won't come in your exam

Verdict for Your Situation

Read Golwala as your primary book.
Here's why it fits your exact plan:
Your Plan StepWhy Golwala Works
Watch PrepLadder videoGets you the concept clearly
Read Golwala on same topicShort, exam-focused, quick to read
Watch BHMS channel for remediesAdds homeopathic management
Write notes from memoryCombines all three
Davidson is too heavy for this workflow. By the time you finish reading Davidson on one disease, you could have covered 3 topics in Golwala.
Use Davidson only if a specific topic feels unclear after the video + Golwala. Treat it as a reference, not a textbook to read through.

Final Answer

  • Primary book → Golwala
  • Videos → PrepLadder (Dr. Deepak Marwah)
  • Davidson → Only when you need deeper clarity on a specific topic
Most of your classmates who are reading Davidson are probably reading too much and covering too little. With your November 28 deadline, Golwala is the right call.

I still think I should start medecine first like its most time taking subject and the subject I don't know anything about and ican add a lighter subject like organon,or repertory

Honestly? Your logic is sound. I'll stop pushing back.

Why Your Thinking is Actually Correct

  • Medicine is the longest subject — starting it early means you're not rushing it in October
  • Having a lighter subject alongside (Organon or Repertory theory) balances the day — heavy + light is a good combination
  • You know yourself — if Medicine feels urgent to you, that mental pressure will actually make you study it better now

The Combination That Makes Most Sense

Medicine + Organon together — not Medicine + Repertory.
Here's why Organon pairs better with Medicine than Repertory does:
  • Organon is 1-2 aphorisms per day — genuinely light, 45 mins max
  • Repertory theory, while short overall, needs focused reading — better done as a standalone block
  • Organon concepts (case taking, totality, obstacles to cure) will directly help you understand how to approach Medicine cases
  • You'll finish Organon in 3 weeks while making steady Medicine progress — two subjects done by end of July

OctoberAll subjects previous papers + MCQsPSM continues
NovemberFull revision all 5 subjects + mock tests—
You were right. Start Medicine tomorrow. Organon runs alongside it daily — light enough to not feel like a burden, important enough to be worth the 45 minutes.

Ok now tell me how to make notes or flash cards which will not consume much time

The golden rule first: notes are for revision, not for writing. Most students waste hours making beautiful notes they never re-read. Your notes should be ugly, fast, and useful.

The 3-Minute Note Method (For Medicine)

After every topic — video done, book read — open a blank page and write this template in under 3 minutes:
DISEASE NAME
Def/Type: 
Key features: (3-4 points only)
Investigation: (1-2 key tests)
Hom. Remedies: (3 max, with one-word keynote each)
Example — Asthma:
ASTHMA
Type: Allergic / Non-allergic / Intrinsic
Features: Wheeze, breathlessness, worse night/early morning, 
          prolonged expiration, hyperinflated chest
Investigations: PFT (reversible obstruction), CXR, sputum eos
Remedies: Arsenicum (anxiety, restless, 1-3AM worse)
          Ipecac (constant nausea with wheeze)
          Lobelia (worse any smell, nausea, blue face)
That's it. One page per disease. No colour coding, no fancy headings, no rewriting.

For Organon — The Aphorism Card

One index card or half a page per section:
APH 1-9
Theme: Definition of Homeopathy
Key line: "Physician's highest calling = make sick people healthy"
One-word tag: PURPOSE
Exam question type: "Define cure according to Hahnemann"
You don't need to write the full aphorism. Just the theme, one key line, and what the examiner typically asks from it.

For Materia Medica — The Remedy Box

One box per remedy — fits on half a page:
REMEDY NAME          Miasm:        Thermal:
Constitution: 
Mental general (top 2-3):
Physical general (top 2-3):
Modalities: Worse —        Better —
Keynote (1 sentence):
Differentials: vs        vs
Example — Pulsatilla:
PULSATILLA           Miasm: Psoric   Thermal: Warm
Constitution: Fair, fat, mild, yielding, tearful
Mental: Weeps easily, desires company, changeable moods
Physical: Thick bland discharges, one-sided complaints
Modalities: Worse — heat, stuffy room, evening
            Better — open air, cold, gentle motion
Keynote: Never the same, changeability in everything
Differentials: vs Sepia (indifferent) vs Ignatia (grief)

For PSM — The Definition Card

PSM is mostly definitions and numbers. One card per topic:
TOPIC: Herd Immunity
Definition: % of immune population that protects susceptibles
Threshold: Measles 95%, Polio 80-85%, Smallpox 80%
Key word: "Community protection"
Exam Q: "Define herd immunity threshold"

For Repertory — The Author Table

Since it's theory only, your entire Repertory notes fit on 2 pages:
Page 1: Table of repertory authors
RepertoryAuthorYearKey Feature
Therapeutic Pocket BookBoenninghausen1846Generals, no complete symptoms
Kent's RepertoryJ.T. Kent189737 chapters, 3-grade system
Boericke's RepertoryW. Boericke1927Attached to MM, clinical
Robin Murphy'sRobin Murphy1993Alphabetical, modern
Page 2: Methods of repertorization — one paragraph each (5 methods, 5 paragraphs done)

The Most Important Rule

Never rewrite notes. First draft = final draft.
Students who rewrite notes are just doing calligraphy, not studying. Your first rough notes written from memory are more valuable than rewritten neat notes because:
  • Writing from memory = active recall = retention
  • Rewriting from notes = copying = zero retention

Physical vs Digital — Which One

Physical (pen and paper) — recommended.
  • Faster to draw boxes and arrows
  • No distraction from phone notifications
  • Proven better for memory retention than typing
  • Easy to carry and flip through during revision
If you prefer digital — use Notion or just plain notes app. Keep it simple. No fancy formatting.

Summary — Your Note System

SubjectFormatTime per topic
Medicine3-minute disease template3 min
OrganonHalf-page aphorism card2 min
Materia MedicaRemedy box5 min
PSMDefinition card with numbers2 min
Repertory2-page total (done once)30 min total
The entire note-making for one study session should never take more than 10-15 minutes. If it's taking longer, you're writing too much.

You now talked Abt flash cards but I need something so that I can write the exact thing or format in exam after studying the topic of i write notes in the end of the week or any time I will need something to revise the same content I have to write in exam

Understood. You need notes that are structured exactly like an exam answer — so when you revise, you're revising the same format you'll write in the hall.

The Exam-Ready Note Format

This is how you write notes for every topic — structured exactly like a long answer or short answer in BHMS finals.

For Practice of Medicine — Full Answer Format

Write every disease like this:
BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Definition: Chronic inflammatory disease of airways characterized by reversible airway obstruction, bronchospasm and increased mucus secretion.
Classification:
  • Extrinsic (Allergic) — young, atopic, allergen triggered
  • Intrinsic (Non-allergic) — adult onset, no allergen, worse infections
  • Mixed type
Etiology:
  • Allergens — dust, pollen, food
  • Infections — viral URTI
  • Exercise, cold air, emotions, drugs (aspirin, beta blockers)
Clinical Features:
  • Episodic wheeze, breathlessness, chest tightness
  • Worse at night and early morning
  • Prolonged expiration, use of accessory muscles
  • Hyperresonant chest, rhonchi on auscultation
Investigations:
  • PFT — FEV1/FVC decreased, reversible with bronchodilator
  • CXR — hyperinflation
  • Sputum — eosinophils, Charcot-Leyden crystals
Homeopathic Management:
  • Arsenicum Album — worse 1-3 AM, anxiety, restlessness, thirst for sips
  • Ipecac — constant nausea with dyspnoea, rattling wheeze
  • Lobelia Inflata — worse any smell, nausea, sense of suffocation
  • Blatta Orientalis — obese patients, humid asthma
  • Sambucus — dry suffocative attacks in children at night
That is exactly what you write in the exam. Notes written in this format = revision = exam answer. Same thing.

For Organon — Essay/Short Answer Format

VITAL FORCE (Aph 9-11)
Definition: The dynamis, spirit-like vital force that animates the material body is called Vital Force.
Characteristics:
  • Autocratic — governs by itself
  • Automatic — acts without conscious will
  • Dynamic — immaterial, spirit-like
  • Unintelligent — cannot reason, only maintains order
In health: Vital force maintains harmonious functioning of body and mind
In disease: When deranged by morbific influence, vital force produces abnormal sensations and functions — expressed as symptoms
In cure: The similar dynamic drug force neutralizes the morbific influence and restores vital force to order
Key aphorism line: "In the state of health the spirit-like vital force animating the material body rules with unbounded sway" — Aph 9

For Materia Medica — Standard Answer Format

PULSATILLA NIGRICANS
Source: Pasque flower — Ranunculaceae family

Differentials:
  • vs Sepia — indifferent where Puls is affectionate, chilly where Puls is warm
  • vs Ignatia — grief-based, contradictory symptoms, hysterical

For PSM — Short Answer Format

HERD IMMUNITY
Definition: Resistance of a group or community to the spread of an infectious agent as a result of a high proportion of immune individuals in that group.
Herd Immunity Threshold (HIT): Minimum proportion of immune individuals needed to prevent epidemic spread
Formula: HIT = 1 - (1/R₀) where R₀ = basic reproduction number
Examples:
DiseaseHIT required
Measles92-95%
Polio80-85%
Smallpox80-85%
Diphtheria85%
Significance:
  • Protects unvaccinated/susceptible individuals
  • Basis of mass vaccination programs
  • Used to calculate vaccination coverage targets

How to Make These Notes Efficiently

Do NOT make these notes while studying. That takes too long.
Here is the process:
  1. Study the topic — video + book
  2. Close everything
  3. Open your notebook and write the answer from memory in this format
  4. Check your book — add only the points you missed in a different colour pen
  5. Done — that is your note AND your exam answer
The checking step is key. The points you missed when writing from memory are your weak points — mark them, revise them first.

What You End Up With

A notebook where every page is a ready exam answer. During revision you just read it once — and you know exactly what to write in the hall because you've already written it in this format multiple times.
This is the most efficient note system for exam preparation. No separate flashcards, no rewriting, no reformatting before the exam.
