In recent decades, dissatisfaction with medical care has led to greater appreciation of a more comprehensive and humanistic medical education and to the search for other treatment options among complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). Since 2003, the Jundiaí School of Medicine offers graduate education in homeopathy (PGH-FMJ) for medical doctors, combining homeopathy and conventional medicine. The aim of this paper was to analyze the learning experiences of graduate students from the two first classes at the PGH-FMJ, with a total of 14 participants. The methodology included multiple-choice questionnaires, non-structured interviews, and the oral history technique. The results showed that the learning of homeopathy at the Jundiaí School of Medicine developed specific professional skills and led to new humanistic, affective, intellectual, and attitudinal insights among participants, as well as to greater professional and personal satisfaction and an improved physician-patient relationship.
