Curriculum and Fees

Year 1

The curriculum is designed to provide strong practical knowledge in delivering Ayurvedic therapies under a physician's instructions. It begins with the foundations of Ayurveda and Panchakarma and an introduction to commonly practised Ayurvedic therapies, before moving into hands-on areas such as therapeutic massage techniques, patient preparation and positioning, and the preparation of therapy rooms, equipment and materials. Alongside these clinical skills, you will develop a firm understanding of hygiene, safety and professional conduct, as well as the communication and care needed to keep patients comfortable throughout their treatment. A strong emphasis is placed on assisting physicians during prescribed therapies, reinforced through supervised practical and clinical training that prepares you for real therapy environments. As the official public Program page confirms, the course is oriented primarily towards practical, physician-guided therapy delivery; since a detailed subject-wise curriculum is not currently published on the official website, these curriculum themes have been framed conservatively around that stated training objective.
