Students will learn how to provide clinically-effective health care, without side-effects, using a wide range of Ayurvedic knowledge. Students will learn about the physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the eight organ systems from the perspective of Maharishi AyurVeda, as well as explore other major systems of natural medicine.
The program aims to train dedicated individuals to practice healthcare with a scientific but natural approach that's rooted in the knowledge of Maharishi AyurVeda.

Graduates of the program can become Maharishi AyurVeda practitioners who work as consultants with chiropractors, osteopathic and medical and naturopathic doctors, and yoga and nutrition centers.
