Dr. Somesh Kaushik offers Ayurveda certification courses starting in October. Certification will be awarded by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) Certification Board and include certificates in Ayurvedic Health Counselor (CAHC) and Ayurvedic Practitioner (CAP).
An Ayurvedic Health Counselor (CAHC) is trained to focus on preventive health care and health promotion, with a specific focus on diet and lifestyle—through traditional Ayurvedic medical science principles and practices.
Completion of the intense, in-depth CAHC program will constitute eligibility for the Ayurvedic Practitioner (CAP) program.
Curriculum consists of lectures, clinical practicum, self-study, and case reports. Travel to India to participate in health clinics will be part of the clinical practicum for the CAP program and optional for the CAHC program.
NAMA certification includes four areas of concentration:
- Foundations of Ayurveda: History and Philosophy
- Concepts of Ayurveda
- Skills and competencies
- Recommendations, treatment, and other interventions
This program is for those who would like to deepen their knowledge of health for their own, and their family’s well-being, and for those who wish to pursue Ayurveda, the world’s oldest healing system, as a profession.
Dr. Somesh Kaushik has been practicing Ayurveda for more than 35 years. He received his training as an Ayurvedic physician at Kurukshetra University, India, and as a naturopathic doctor at the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
